Abstract Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.,) is among the world’s leading fruit crops. The production of grapes severely affected by many diseases including gray mold, caused necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. Although all Vitis species can be hosts for B. cinerea, V. are particularly susceptible. Accordingly, this disease poses a significant threat to grape industry and causes substantial economic losses. Development resistant cultivars has progressed from incidental selection farmers,...
Members of the plant-specific B3-domain transcription factor family have important and varied functions, especially with respect to vegetative reproductive growth. Although B3 genes been studied in many other plants, there is limited information on genomic organization expression grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). In this study, we identified 50 genome analyzed these terms chromosomal location syntenic relationships, intron–exon organization, promoter cis-element content. We also presumed...
Plant-parasitic nematodes significantly threaten agriculture and forestry, causing various diseases. They cause annual losses of up to 178 billion dollars worldwide due their parasitism. Nematophagous fungi (NF) are valuable in controlling or reducing parasitic nematode diseases by killing through predatory behavior. This article summarizes the strategic approaches adopted NF capture, poison, consume for food. classified based on attacking strategies, including trapping, endoparasitism,...
Abstract Plant-parasitic nematodes are a major problem for horticultural production, causing significant economic losses. Chemical nematicides common nematode control strategy but can negatively impact the environment and human health. In this review, we provide an overview of use fungi biological plant-parasitic in crops. Fungal bio-control represents alternative, environmentally friendly managing nematodes. The has gained increasing attention due to potential benefits selectivity,...
Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic fungal phytopathogen with devastating effects on many Vitis genotypes. Here, screening of 81 genotypes for leaf resistance to B. revealed two highly resistant (HR), twelve (R), twenty-five susceptible (S) and forty-two (HS) We focused the HR genotype, 'Zi Qiu' (Vitis davidii), HS genotype 'Riesling' (V. vinifera), elucidate mechanisms host susceptibility against cinerea, using detached assays. These involved comparison growth, reactive oxygen species (ROS)...
FUSCA3 (FUS3) is a member of B3-domain transcription factor family and master regulator seed development. It has potential roles in hormone biosynthesis signaling pathways therefore plays diverse plant life cycle, especially germination, dormancy, embryo formation, fruit development, maturation. However, there limited information about its functions development grapevine. In this study, we expressed VvFUS3 tomato for functional characterization. Overexpression led to reduction number weight...
Glutelin-1 of defatted walnut meal protein (DWPG-1) was modified by pepsin enzymatic hydrolysis to improve its functional properties and antioxidant activities. The amino acid composition, structural characteristics, physicochemical as well activities the hydrolysate were compared with those unmodified DWPG-1. analysis X-ray diffraction patterns, surface microstructure particle size distribution indicated that changed structures Compared natural unhydrolyzed protein, showed better...
Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a devastating that threatens pine forests worldwide, and breeding resistant pines an important management strategy used to reduce its impact. A batch of seeds P. thunbergii was introduced from Japan. Based on the materials, we obtained somatic plants through embryogenesis. In this study, performed transcriptome analysis further understand defense response PWD. The results showed that, after wood nematode (PWN) infection, stimulated more differential expression...
Jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ) family proteins comprise a class of transcriptional repressors that silence jasmonate-inducible genes. Although considerable amount research has been carried out on this gene family, there is still very little information available the role specific JAZ members in multiple pathogen resistance, especially non-model species. In study, we investigated potential resistance function VqJAZ7 from disease-resistant wild grapevine, Vitis quinquangularis cv. “Shang-24”,...
The necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea causes devastating pre- and post-harvest yield losses in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). Although B. has been well-studied different plant species, there is limited information related to the resistance susceptibility mechanisms of Vitis genotypes against infection. In present study, leaves berries twenty four grape were evaluated According results, one genotype (Ju mei gui) was highly resistant (HR), (Kyoho) (R), eight susceptible (S), fourteen (HS)...
Bacillus velezensis FZB42, a representative strain of plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), can form robust biofilm and produce multiple antibiotics against wild range phytopathogens. In this study, we observed different morphology the mutant Y4, derived from TnYLB-1 transposon insertion library B. FZB42. We identified that was inserted into sprT gene in Y4. Our bioinformatics analysis revealed SprT protein is an unstable hydrophilic located cytoplasm. It highly conserved species...
Berries of 41 Vitis genotypes were evaluated for resistance to B. cinerea. Evaluation revealed that four highly resistant (HR), eight (R), eighteen susceptible (S) and eleven (HS). We further HR genotype 'Dong fang zhi xing' HS 'Gold finger' by comparing the fungal growth, reactive oxygen species (ROS) responses, jasmonic acid (JA) levels, anti-oxidants, e.g., Peroxidase (POD), Superoxide dismutase (SOD) Malondialhydrate (MDA) content changes after infection with Our results confirmed...
The research on plant endophytes has been drawing a lot of attention in recent years. Pantoea belongs to group with growth-promoting activity and widely used agricultural fields. In our earlier studies, eucalypti FBS135 was isolated from healthy-growing Pinus massoniana able promote pine growth. P. can grow under extremely low nitrogen conditions. To understand the mechanism low-nitrogen tolerance this bacterium, transcriptome absence examined study. We found that actively regulates its gene...
