Most plants interact with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, which enhance disease resistance in the host plant. Because effects of against bacterial pathogens are poorly understood, we investigated colonization on virulent and avirulent using phytopathological molecular biology techniques. Tomato colonized by Gigaspora margarita acquired not only fungal pathogen, Botrytis cinerea, but also a Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst). In G. margarita-colonized tomato, salicylic acid (SA)-...
Rice grassy stunt virus (RGSV), a member of the genus Tenuivirus, causes significant economic losses in rice production South, Southeast, and East Asian countries. Growing resistant varieties is most efficient method to control RGSV; however, suitable resistance genes have not yet been found natural resources. One promising methods confer against RGSV use RNA interference (RNAi). It important target viral that play roles infection proliferation at an early stage replication. Our recent...
Serratia marcescens strain B2 inhibited mycelial growth of the rice sheath blight pathogen Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA. Rice plants were treated with bacterial suspension and then challenge inoculated pathogen. Application S. effectively reduced incidence blight. survived in soil under glasshouse conditions at ca. 108 colony forming units g−1 for 4 weeks after application. These results suggest that has potential as an effective persistent biological control agent
Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a potent innate immunity system in plants that effective against broad range of pathogens and induced through the salicylic acid (SA)-mediated pathway. Here we have characterized SAR induction activity 4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carboxylic (SV-03) identified as metabolite tiadinil rice. Soil drench application SV-03 induces disease PR gene expression tobacco. Further analyses using NahG transgenic tobacco indicate SV-03-induced enhancement does not...
A plant growth-promoting bacteria, Azospirillum sp. B510, isolated from rice, can enhance growth and yield induce disease resistance against various types of diseases in rice. Because little is known about the interaction between other species this strain, we have investigated effect its colonization on tomato plants. Treatment with strain by soil-drenching method established endophytic root tissues plant. The strain-induced bacterial leaf spot caused Pseudomonas syringae pv. gray mold...
Copper-resistance was analyzed with 189 strains of plant pathogenic bacteria that belonged to the genera Pseudomonas, Xanthomonas, Erwinia, Agrobacterium, Clavibacter and Curtobacterium. For assay, CuSO4 or copper compounds (copper fungicides) were incorporated into Bacto potato-dextrose agar (PDA). Bacteria grew on PDA containing at concentrations 1.25mM more arbitrarily categorized as copperresistant. The minimum inhibitory (MIC) copper-PDA medium one two times greater than casitone-yeast...
The present study aimed to identify the characteristics of genetically modified pigs carrying a mutant human gene as research model for diabetes and its complications.We developed transgenic cloned pig (founder, male) gene, i.e., HNF-1α (P291fsinsC), which is responsible maturity-onset young type 3. Transgenic progeny obtained via artificial insemination wild (WT) sows with cryopreserved sperm derived from founder was pathologically examined.The maintained high blood glucose level...
Many studies have suggested that 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT, serotonin) plays an important role in the control of gastrointestinal motility. However, most these been carried out on guinea-pig ileum vitro. Therefore, we investigated mechanisms action 5HT motility conscious guinea-pigs. In order to investigate effects motility, extraluminal force transducers were sutured onto serosal surfaces gastric antrum, duodenum and was infused intravenously. One three types antagonist or atropine given...
Arytenoid adduction is a phonosurgical procedure in which the arytenoid cartilages are approximated to reduce posterior glottal gap size and improve voice. Voice outcomes following not always optimal. The goal of this study was systematically vary suture direction force pull on human excised laryngeal model determine optimal combination factors for reducing improving Several demonstrated significant effects. Changes affected configuration both horizontal vertical planes. Increased muscular...
