Circadian rhythms and circadian clock gene homologs of complex alga Chromera velia [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Most organisms on Earth are affected by periodic changes in their environment. The circadian clock is an endogenous device that synchronizes behavior, physiology, or biochemical processes to an approximately 24-hour cycle, allowing organisms to ...

Signal and regulatory mechanisms involved in spore development of Phytophthora and Peronophythora [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Oomycetes cause hundreds of destructive plant diseases, threatening agricultural production and food security. These fungus-like eukaryotes show multiple sporulation pattern including the production of sporangium, zoospore, chlamydospore and oospore ...

Effects of manganese and zinc on the growth process of Phytophthora nicotianae and the possible inhibitory mechanisms [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Phytophthora nicotianae is a fungal soil-borne pathogen that damages various plant species. Mancozeb and Zineb, fungicides containing manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) as the main components, are widely used to control the diseases caused by ...

The Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase PlMAPK2 Is Involved in Zoosporogenesis and Pathogenicity of Peronophythoralitchii. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 As an evolutionarily conserved pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades function as the key signal transducers that convey information by protein phosphorylation. Here we identified PlMAPK2 as one of 14 predicted MAPKs encoding genes in the plant pathogenic oomycete Peronophythora litchii.

Multiple Pathways Regulate the Induction of Genes During Zoosporogenesis in Phytophthora infestans [PDF]
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2004 Zoospores are a critical component of the disease cycles of most oomycete pathogens. To better understand this stage, genes induced during zoosporogenesis were identified from Phytophthora infestans, the potato late blight pathogen.

Chemical genetic approach using β-rubromycin reveals that a RIO kinase-like protein is involved in morphological development in Phytophthora infestans [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 To characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying life-stage transitions in Phytophthora infestans, we initiated a chemical genetics approach by screening for a stage-specific inhibitor of morphological development from microbial culture extracts ...
