Abstract RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) participate in a diverse set of biological processes plants, but their functions and underlying mechanisms plant–pathogen interactions are largely unknown. We previously showed that Arabidopsis thaliana BPA1-LIKE PROTEIN3 (BPL3) belongs to conserved plant RBP family negatively regulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation cell death under biotic stress. In this study, we demonstrate BPL3 suppresses FORKED-LIKE7 (FL7) transcript raises levels the...
Abstract The oomycete pathogen Phytophthora capsici encodes hundreds of RXLR effectors that enter the plant cells and suppress host immunity. Only a few these genes are conserved across different strains species. Such core might target hub immune pathways in hosts. Here, we describe functional characterization P. effector RXLR242. expression RXLR242 was up‐regulated during infection, its ectopic Nicotiana benthamiana , an experimental host, further promoted infection. physically interacted...
Plant diseases cause dramatic economic loss, posing a major challenge to modern agriculture. pathogenic organisms secret effectors that utilize fascinating and intricate stratagems facilitate infection. The consequences of plant-pathogen interactions are largely determined by effectors. effector research has made great strides since its inception in the 1990s importance is increasingly noticed. Molecular investigation provided critical insights into how plant pathogens manipulate their hosts...
Plants deploy various immune receptors to recognize pathogen-derived extracellular signals and subsequently activate the downstream defense response. Recently, increasing evidence indicates that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a part in plant response, known as ER stress-mediated immunity (ERSI), halts pathogen infection. However, mechanism for stress response of infection remains unclear. Here, we characterized regulator NAC089, which was previously reported positively regulate programed...
Reducing crop loss to diseases is urgently needed meet increasing food production challenges caused by the expanding world population and negative impact of climate change on productivity. Disease-resistant crops can be created expressing endogenous or exogenous genes interest through transgenic technology. Nevertheless, enhanced resistance overexpressing resistance-produced often results in adverse developmental affects. Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are translational control...
The ongoing 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its variants, is a global public health threat. Early diagnosis identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants plays critical role in COVID-19 prevention control. Currently, the most widely used technique to detect quantitative reverse transcription real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), which takes nearly 1 hour should be performed experienced personnel ensure accuracy results....
Abstract Plant pathogenic oomycete species pose a worldwide threat to crop production and ecosystems. During infection, pathogens secrete series of effectors manipulate plant immunity. Many these effectors, which are indicated as avirluence gene candidates, will use components immunity pathway induce cell death in plants. This response given by plants is known effector-triggered (ETI). The identification avirulence genes from opens way investigating their virulence function uncovering...
Arabidopsis BPA1 (Binding Partner of ACD11) and BPLs (BPA1-Like Proteins) belong to a conserved plant protein family, negatively regulate ROS accumulation cell death under biotic stresses. Among them, the bpl3 single mutant shows higher resistance Phytophthora capsici, while other BPL proteins are functionally redundant. However, it is still largely unknown how BPL3 regulates immunity. In this study, we demonstrate that may suppress FL7 transcript elevate levels its cis-natural antisense...
Abstract Two NLRs (Nucleotide-binding and Leucine-rich repeat Receptors) adjacent to each other on a locus, termed as paired NLRs, may act separately for effector recognition subsequent signaling activation mediate effector-triggered immunity (ETI) in many plants. However, it is largely unknown about their distribution functions Solanaceae species, which NLR-Hs (Helpers NLR REQUIRED FOR CELL DEATHs) have been extensively studied. Here, we identified species found they harbor ranging from 6...
The oomycete pathogen Phytophthora capsici encodes hundreds of RXLR effectors to enter plant cells and suppress host defense responses. Only few them are conserved across different strains species. Such ‘core effectors’ may target hub immunity pathways that essential during pathogens interacting with their hosts. However, the underlying mechanisms core RXLRs-mediated manipulation largely unknown. Here, we report functional characterization a P. effector, RXLR242. RXLR242 expression is highly...
