Summary A hybrid‐proline‐rich protein encoding gene ( CcHyPRP ) has been isolated and characterized, for the first time, from subtracted cDNA library of pigeonpea Cajanus cajan L.) plants subjected to drought stress. Functionality validated abiotic stress tolerance using heterologous yeast Arabidopsis systems. The contained a repetitive proline‐rich (PR) N‐terminal domain conserved eight cysteine motif (8CM) at C‐terminus. Southern analysis disclosed single‐copy nature in genome. Northern...
Fusarium virguliforme causes the serious disease sudden death syndrome (SDS) in soybean. Host resistance to this pathogen is partial and encoded by a large number of quantitative trait loci, each conditioning small effects. Breeding SDS therefore challenging identification single-gene novel mechanisms becoming priority fight devastating fungal pathogen. In transcriptomic study we identified few putative soybean defense genes, expression which suppressed during F. infection. The...
This paper reports a highly economical and accessible approach to generate different discrete relative humidity conditions in spatially separated wells of modified multi-well plate for assay plant-pathogen interactions with good throughput. We demonstrated that gradient could be formed within few minutes maintained over period days inside the device. The device consisted freeway channel top layer, multiple compartmented bottom water source, drying agent source. combinational effects...
Non-host resistance (NHR), which protects all members of a plant species from non-adapted or non-host pathogens, is the most common form immunity. NHR provides durable and robust broad-spectrum immunity against non-adaptive pathogens pathogenic to other crop species. In mutant screen for loss Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) pathogen Phytophthora sojae, sojae-susceptible 30 (pss30) was identified. The pss30 also susceptible Fusarium virguliforme. PSS30...
