Variegation is a rare type of mosaicism not fully studied in plants, especially fruits. We examined red and white sections grape (Vitis vinifera cv. 'Béquignol') variegated berries found that accumulation products from branches the phenylpropanoid isoprenoid pathways showed an opposite tendency. Light-responsive flavonol monoterpene levels increased anthocyanin-depleted areas correlation with increasing MYB24 expression. Cistrome analysis suggested binds to promoters 22 terpene synthase...
Upregulation of the terpenoid pathway and increased ABA content in flax upon Fusarium infection leads to activation early plant's response (PR genes, cell wall remodeling, redox status). Plants have developed a number defense strategies against adverse effects fungi such as oxysporum. One is production antioxidant secondary metabolites, which fall into two main groups: phenylpropanoids terpenoids. While functions biosynthesis been extensively studied, very little known about genes...
Abstract White lupin ( Lupinus albus L.) is an ancient grain legume that still undergoing improvement of domestication traits, including vernalization-responsiveness, providing frost tolerance and preventing winter flowering in autumn-sowing agriculture, vernalization-independence, conferring drought escape by rapid spring-sowing.

Europe is highly dependent on soybean meal imports and anticipates an increase of domestic plant protein production. Ongoing climate change resulted in northward shift hardiness zones, enabling spring-sowing freezing-sensitive crops, including soybean. However, it requires efficient reselection germplasm adapted to relatively short growing season long-day photoperiod. In the present study, a PCR array has been implemented, targeting early maturity (E1-E4, E7, E9, E10), pod shattering...

Despite having low weight,...
This paper is the first aero-mycological report from Demänovská Ice Cave. Fungal spores were sampled internal and external air of cave in June, 2014, using impact method with a microbiological sampler. Airborne fungi cultured on PDA medium identified combination classical phenotypic molecular methods. Altogether, presence 18 different fungal spores, belonging to 3 phyla, 9 orders 14 genera, was detected cave. All them isolated indoor samples, only obtained outdoor samples. Overall, airborne...
In this study transcriptome was analyzed on two fibrous varieties of flax: the susceptible Regina and resistant Nike. The experiment carried out 2-week-old seedlings, because in phase development flax is most to infection. We whole which allowed us recognize systemic response plants decided analyze time points: 24h 48h, our goal learn mechanisms activated initial stages infection, these points were selected based previous analysis chitinase gene expression, whose increase Fusarium oxysporum...
Abstract Narrow-leafed lupin (NLL, Lupinus angustifolius L.) is a legume plant cultivated for grain production and soil improvement. Worldwide expansion of NLL as crop attracted various pathogenic fungi, including Colletotrichum lupini causing devastating disease, anthracnose. Two alleles conferring improved resistance, Lanr1 AnMan , were exploited in breeding, however, underlying molecular mechanisms remained unknown. In this study, European germplasm was screened with markers. Inoculation...
