In most fungal pathogen–plant systems, a high level of sugars in plant tissues enhances resistance. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanisms "high-sugar resistance". Sugars constitute primary substrate providing energy and structural material for defense responses plants, while they may also act as signal molecules interacting with hormonal signaling network regulating immune system. enhance oxidative burst at early stages infection, increasing lignification cell...

Aphid feeding induces various defense signaling mechanisms in plants. The recognition of activities by plants occurs through the use transmembrane pattern receptors (PRRS) or, acting largely inside cell, polymorphic nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (NB-LRR) protein products, encoded most R genes. Activation may induce defensive reactions which are result highly coordinated sequential changes at cellular level comprising, among other changes, synthesis molecules. ensuing plant responses...

Soluble sugars such as sucrose, glucose and fructose in plant host cells not only play the role donors of carbon skeletons, but they may also induce metabolic signals influencing expression defense genes. These metabolites function a complex network with many bioactive molecules, which independently or dialogue, successive mechanisms. The aim this study was to determine involvement sucrose monosaccharides signaling molecules regulation levels phytohormones hydrogen peroxide participating...

The aim of the study was to examine cross-talk interactions soluble sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose) infection caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lupini on synthesis genistein in embryo axes Lupinus luteus L.cv. Juno. Genistein is a free aglycone, highly reactive with potential inhibit fungal development plant diseases. As signal molecules, strongly stimulated accumulation isoflavones, including genistein, expression isoflavonoid biosynthetic genes. Infection significantly enhanced...

This study presents the influence of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on growth yellow lupine (Lupinus luteus L.cv. Diament and Lupinus Mister), some metabolic reactions triggered by AgNPs during seed germination stage development seedling. Also, role in defense mechanisms above varieties against hemibiotrofic patogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lupini. enhanced seedlings, particularly root length fresh biomass. Furthermore, defense-related phytohormones, such as abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonates...

Phytoalexins are naturally occurring molecules with antimicrobial activity deriving from the secondary metabolism of plants; they synthesized in response to physical agents or stresses and phytopathogenic (fungi, bacteria viruses), as well numerous chemical compounds biological control agents. Among these, grapevine phytoalexins, which belong group stilbenes, exhibit biocidal against a large number variety plant pathogens. It is important investigate whether induction stilbene phytoalexin...
