Sensing of potential pathogenic bacteria is critical importance for immunity. In plants, this involves plasma membrane-resident pattern recognition receptors, one which the FLAGELLIN SENSING 2 (FLS2) receptor kinase. Ligand-activated FLS2 receptors are internalized into endosomes. However, extent to these spatiotemporal dynamics generally present among (PRRs) and their regulation remain elusive. Using live-cell imaging, we show that at least three other kinases associated with plant...
Bacterial spot caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Xap) is a major threat to Prunus species worldwide. The molecular mechanisms of peach resistance Xap during early leaf infection were investigated RNA-Seq analysis two persica cultivars, 'Redkist' (resistant), and 'JH Hale' (susceptible) at 30 minutes, 1 3 hours-post-infection (hpi). Both cultivars exhibited extensive modulation gene expression mpi, which reduced significantly hpi, increasing again hpi. Overall, 714 differentially...
Abstract The studies of woody organs‐affecting diseases Platanus × acerifolia can be hampered by the finding fungi whose identification is difficult with mycological techniques. In a previous study on affected severe cankers, Fomitiporia mediterranea / punctata ‐like fungi, not associated fruit bodies and Libertella sp. were recovered. Due to severity symptoms, characterization fungal ribosomal DNA genes was undertaken in present study, aimed specific pathogens. From ‐vegetative isolates...
Plant receptor-like kinase (RLK/Pelle) family regulates growth and developmental processes interaction with pathogens symbionts. Platanaceae is one of the earliest branches Eudicots temporally located before split which gave rise to Rosids Asterids. Thus investigations into RLK in Platanus can provide information on evolution this gene land plants. Moreover RLKs are good candidates for finding genes that able confer resistance pathogens. Degenerate oligonucleotide primers targeting domain...
The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship among leaf mineral nutrition, soil chemical fertility, presence phytoplasma in fruit trees and susceptibility plant become infected. In experimental farm, pear apricot orchards were cultivated, separate areas far 30 metres each other since 1997 they resulted respectively infected by 'Candidatus Phytoplasma pyri' prunorum'. 1999 whole collections these two species had been eradicated substituted with new plants same species. Four...
The nm23-M1, a putative metastasis-suppressor gene, and its homologs are involved in development differentiation. We have shown previously that vitro neuronal cell proliferation differentiation can be modulated by nm23-M1 expression levels. In the present study, yeast two-hybrid system, we that, at onset of mouse tissue differentiation, Nm23-M1 protein forms either homodimers, or heterodimers with Nm23-M2. Furthermore, isolated two cDNA variants gene 3′-untranslated region (UTR). related to...
A research of vector(s) the phytoplasmas responsible for apricot chlorotic leaf roll disease was carried out in a field plot where European Stone Fruit Yellows Phytoplasma (ESFYP), now named 'candidates prunorum' ('Ca. P. prunorum'), had heavily infected an collection 1993. The plants were uprooted May 1994 and, 1997, planted again with trees. This report elaborated data collected from February 2003 through July 2007. only insect species found Empoasca decedens Paoli 5,085 insects collected....
