The wheat Pm3 resistance gene against the powdery mildew pathogen occurs as an allelic series encoding functionally different immune receptors which induce upon recognition of isolate-specific avirulence (AVR) effectors from pathogen. Here, we describe identification five effector proteins pathogens wheat, rye, and wild grass Dactylis glomerata, specifically recognized by PM3B, PM3C PM3D receptors. Together with earlier identified AVRPM3A2/F2, AVRs PM3B/C, (AVRPM3B2/C2), (AVRPM3D3) belong to...
Introgressions of chromosomal segments from related species into wheat are important sources resistance against fungal diseases. The durability and effectiveness introgressed genes upon agricultural deployment is highly variable—a phenomenon that remains poorly understood, as the corresponding avirulence largely unknown. Until its breakdown, Pm17 gene rye to provided broad powdery mildew ( Blumeria graminis ). Here, we used quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping identify effector AvrPm17 ....
Plant defense responses to pathogens are induced after direct or indirect perception of effector proteins their activity on host proteins. In fungal-plant interactions, relatively little is known if in addition avirulence effectors and immune receptors, other contribute specific recognition. The nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptor Pm2a wheat recognizes the fungal powdery mildew AvrPm2. We found that predicted zinc finger TaZF interacts with both protein AvrPm2 as well NLR...
The impact of pile installation in soft soils on its surroundings has been numerically investigated with a focus the response an existing piled structure. originality is parameterised 3D Finite Element Analyses far-field soil-structure-interaction scenarios, <i>i.e.</i>, interactions that are largely driven by mass-displacements. A main finding geometry, includes number and length newly installed piles, distance between two groups also to stiff boundaries system (in field...
ABSTRACT Plant nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat (NLR) proteins are intracellular immune receptors that directly or indirectly perceive pathogen‐derived effector to induce an response. NLRs display diverse subcellular localisations, which associated with the capacity of receptor confer disease resistance and recognise its corresponding avirulence effector. In wheat, NLR PM3b recognises wheat powdery mildew AVRPM3 b2/c2 we examined molecular mechanism underlying this recognition. We show...
Abstract Two genetically distinct lineages of European green crabs ( Carcinus maenas ) were independently introduced to eastern North America, the first in early 19th century and second late 20th century. These came into secondary contact southeastern Nova Scotia, Canada NS ), where they hybridized, producing latitudinal genetic clines. Previous studies have documented a persistent southward shift clines different marker types, consistent with existing dispersal recruitment pathways. We...

Lichens are an ancient symbiosis comprising the thalli of lichen-forming fungi, their photoautotrophic partners and microbiome. So far, they were poorly studied at genome sequence level. Here, we present a reference metagenome for holobiont Cladonia rangiformis . Using long read sequences from entire symbiotic complex, plus short libraries 28 additional diverse European lichen samples, able to separate 20 individual species. We constructed chromosome-scale assemblies C. fungus its...
To successfully colonize the living tissue of its host, fungal wheat powdery mildew pathogen produces diverse effector proteins that are suggested to reprogram host defense responses and physiology. When recognized by immune receptors, these become avirulence (AVR) effectors. Several sequence-diverse AVRPM3 effectors suppressor AVRPM3-PM3 recognition (SVRPM3 a1/f1 ) involved in triggering allele-specific, Pm3-mediated resistance, but molecular mechanisms controlling their function cell...
Lime-cement columns are a common form of ground improvement used in the Nordic countries to improve engineering properties soft soils. The strength and stiffness lime-cement mixed clay, however, heterogeneous. Hence, characterisation extent variability is essential optimise performance columns.

A novel image-based method proposed spatial at laboratory...
Wheat powdery mildew is an important fungal pathogen of wheat with obligatory biotrophic lifestyle (a parasite that can only develop on a living host). We investigated the genetics this host-pathogen interaction by using phenotyping and PCR assays to detect genes in both mildew, which are known determinants outcome these interactions (resistance or susceptibility). The increase decrease virulence, while provide specific immunity against isolates expressing corresponding avirulence genes....
