Abstract Sclerotinia disease is one of the most devastating fungal diseases worldwide, as it reduces yields many economically important crops. Pathogen-secreted effectors play crucial roles in infection processes. However, key Ciboria shiraiana, pathogen primarily responsible for sclerotinia mulberry (Morus spp.), remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified and functionally characterized effector Cs02526 C. shiraiana found that could induce cell death a variety plants. Moreover,...
To better understand the role of nitric oxide (NO) in mango fruit ripening, that was pretreated with salicylic acid (SA) and NO stored at 25 °C for 11 days. Fruit firmness, ethylene production, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA) vitamin C content were monitored. The expression six genes involved biosynthesis signalling, namely, MiACO, MiACS, MiETR1, MiERS1, MiEIN2 MiERF, investigated using real-time qPCR. results showed treatment caused significant inhibition firmness...
Abstract Antifungal innate immunity is an important defence used by insects against entomogenous fungi. However, the downstream target antifungal peptides of different immune signalling pathways are unknown. We found that Toll, Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator transcription (Jak/STAT) Immunodeficiency (IMD) in silkworm, Bombyx mori , can be activated Beauveria bassiana . Inhibition IMD Jak/STAT reduced activities silkworm haemolymph. verified pathways. The expression patterns...
Mango germplasm remains underutilized due to the limited knowledge of quality properties. The objective this study was analyze and compare physicochemical characters, antioxidant capacity, mineral content 28 mango genotypes, in order assess useful information for utilization genetic resources China. All genotypes were grown under same geographical conditions with standard cultural practices. results showed that there significant differences among all studied traits. Potassium, calcium,...
Abstract Ciboria shiraiana is a necrotrophic fungus that causes mulberry sclerotinia disease resulting in huge economic losses agriculture. During infection, the uses immunity elicitors to induce plant tissue necrosis could facilitate its colonization on plants. However, key and immune mechanisms remain unclear C. . Herein, novel elicitor Cs08297 secreted by was identified, it found target apoplast plants cell death. cysteine‐rich protein unique , cysteine residues were crucial for ability...
Bombyx mori cecropin A (Bmcecropin A) has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-filamentous fungal and tumour cell inhibition activities is considered a potential succedaneum for antibiotics. We clarified the antibacterial mechanism structure-activity relationships then directed optimization of Bmcecropin A. Firstly, we found shows strong binding force permeability to membranes like detergent; could competitively bind membrane with membrane-specific dye DiI, damaged access DiI into cytoplasm...
ABSTRACT Paurocephala sauteri Enderlein is one of the most important pests mulberry trees in tropical and subtropical regions China. This species by penetrating veins on back leaves buds trees, nymphs female adults can secrete wax, these wax accumulated significantly affects photosynthesis silkworm cultivation. Therefore, this study aimed to understand wax‐secreting system characteristics secretion, expecting a potential strategy control population. The main findings were as follows:...
