Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are part of a large protein family that protect other from aggregation due to desiccation or osmotic stresses. Recently, the Amarantus cruentus seed proteome was characterized by 2D-PAGE and one highly accumulated spot identified as Embryogenesis Abundant named AcLEA. In this work, AcLEA cDNA cloned into an expression vector recombinant purified characterized. encodes 172 amino acid polypeptide with predicted molecular mass 18.34 kDa estimated pI...
Fusarium kuroshium is a novel member of the Ambrosia Clade (AFC) that has been recognized as one symbionts invasive Kuroshio shot hole borer, an Asian ambrosia beetle. This complex considered causal agent dieback, disease severely threatened natural forests, landscape trees, and avocado orchards in last 8 years. Despite interest this species, molecular responses both host F. during infection process establishment remain unknown. In work, we established vitro pathosystem using Hass stems...
The Ambrosia Fusarium Clade phytopathogenic fungi species have a symbiotic relationship with ambrosia beetles in the genus Euwallacea (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Related beetle referred to as sp. near fornicatus been spread California, USA and are recognized causal agents of dieback, disease that causes mortality many plant species. Despite importance this fungi, no transcriptomic resources generated. datasets described here represent first ever transcripts available for these We focused...
Abstract The regulation of root Plasma membrane (PM) Intrinsic Protein (PIP)-type aquaporins (AQPs) is potentially important for salinity tolerance. However, the molecular and cellular details underlying this process in halophytes remain unclear. Using free-flow electrophoresis label-free proteomics, we report that increased abundance PIPs at PM halophyte ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) roots under conditions regulated by clathrin-coated vesicles (CCV). To understand regulation,...
Abstract Obesity and type 2 diabetes(T2D) are the most prevalent serious metabolic diseases affecting people worldwide. However racial ethnic disparities seems to be a risk factor for their development. Mexico has been named as one of largest populations with highest prevalence diabetes obesity. The aim this study was identify novel T2D-associated proteins in Mexican patients. Blood samples were collected from 62 patients T2D they grouped according body mass index(BMI). A panel 10 obesity...
ABSTRACT Here, we report the genome of Fusarium euwallaceae strain HFEW-16-IV-019, an isolate obtained from Kuroshio shot hole borer (a Euwallacea sp.). These beetles were collected in Tijuana, Mexico, elm trees showing typical symptoms dieback. The final assembly consists 287 scaffolds spanning 48,274,071 bp and 13,777 genes.
In contrast to their counterparts in bacteria and animals the soluble inorganic pyrophosphatases from plant cells are active as monomers. The isoforms 1 4 Arabidopsis thaliana have been characterized with more detail, but three-dimensional structure is unavailable. Here, a recently published protocol (ROSETTA design-HMMer), used guide well-known techniques for homology-modeling, production of reliable models these two arabidopsis isoforms. Their interaction magnesium ions pyrophosphate...
A key factor to take actions against phytosanitary problems is the accurate and rapid detection of causal agent. Here, we develop a molecular diagnostics system based on comparative genomics easily identify fusariosis specific pathogenic species as Fusarium kuroshium, symbiont ambrosia beetle Euwallaceae kuroshio Gomez Hulcr which responsible for dieback disease in San Diego CA, USA. We performed pan-genome analysis using sixty-three ascomycetes fungi including phytopathogens associated with...
Neofusicoccum parvum belongs to the Botryosphaeriaceae family, which contains endophytes and pathogens of woody plants. In this study, we isolated 11 strains from diseased tissue Liquidambar styraciflua. Testing with Koch’s postulates—followed by a molecular approach—revealed that N. was most pathogenic strain. We established an in vitro pathosystem (L. styraciflua foliar tissue–N. parvum) order characterize infection process during first 16 days. New CysRPs were identified for both...
ABSTRACT The regulation of PIP-type aquaporins in the roots plants has been identified as an important aspect salinity tolerance. However, molecular and cellular details underlying this process halophytes remain unclear. Using free flow electrophoresis label-free proteomics, we report that increased abundance PIPs at plasma membrane Mesembryanthemum crystallinum under conditions is regulated by clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs). To understand regulation, analyzed several components M. CCVs...
Abstract Background Neofusicoccum parvum belongs to Botryosphaeriaceae family that groups endophytic and latent pathogens of woody plants responsible diseases such as cankers, dieback blight. Is a widespread pathogen in broad host range including agricultural, horticultural forestry plants, therefore is relevant characterize molecular mechanisms involved the disease. This work, report for first time N. Liquidambar styraciflua . We established an vitro pathosystem using foliar tissue order...
