Circadian Clock Gates Verticillium dahliae Defence in Cotton by Modulating JAZs Expression

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circadian clock plays critical roles in orchestrating temporal regulation of diverse physiological processes. However, its role in mediating root‐associated immunity against soil‐borne pathogens in crops remains poorly understood. Here, we show that cotton circadian clock gates nighttime resistance to vascular fungal pathogen Verticillium ...

Ability of some species of fungi of the Basidiomycetes class to degrade cellulose and lignocellulose substrates

Acta Mycologica, 2014
Studies were carried-out on the ability of 18 strains of 15 white-rot and brown-rot basidiomycetons fungi to degrade wood components and to synthesize cellulolytic enzymes and laccase.

A Fungal Secretome Adapted for Stress Enabled a Radical Wood Decay Mechanism

mBio, 2021
Brown rot fungi release massive amounts of carbon from forest deadwood, particularly at high latitudes. These fungi degrade wood by generating small reactive oxygen species (ROS) to loosen lignocellulose, to then selectively remove carbohydrates. The ROS

Stabilization of lignin peroxidases in white rot fungi by tryptophan [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1997
Supplementation of various cultures of white rot fungi with tryptophan was found to have a large stimulatory effect on lignin peroxidase activity levels. This enhancement was greater than that observed in the presence of the lignin peroxidase recycling agent veratryl alcohol.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Responses to and detoxification of esculin in white-rot fungi

Fungal Biology
Plant metabolites have a great potential for limiting the spread of harmful fungi. However, a better understanding of the mode-of-action of these molecules and the defense systems developed by fungi to resist them, is needed to assess the benefits/risks of using them as antifungal treatment. White-rot fungi are excellent models in this respect, as they

Effects of Atmospheric CO2 Levels on the Susceptibility of Maize to Diverse Pathogens

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 has significant implications for crop productivity and food security. Based on studies in C3 plants, elevated CO2 (eCO2) can shape plant‐pathogen interactions, although the outcomes are often variable. The question of how eCO2 influences immunity and disease development in C4 plants, such as the globally important cereal

Comparative Assessment of Antifungal Potential of Clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) and Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) Essential Oils [PDF]

Pro Ligno, 2018
The paper refers to the comparative evaluation of the potential antifungal effect of two essential oils: clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) essential oil and cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) essential oil, against a brown rot fungus (Postia placenta) and a white

Bioactivity of ethanol extracts from Eucalyptus bosistoana F. Muell. heartwood

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2019
Variability in bioactivity and chemical composition of Eucalyptus bosistoana F. Muell. heartwood extracts between individual trees from two different sites were investigated. Combining the results of fungal assays and quantitative gas chromatography (GC)
