Because they suck phloem sap and act as vectors for phytopathogenic viruses, aphids pose a threat to crop yields worldwide. Pectic homogalacturonan (HG) has been described defensive element plants during infections with phytopathogens. However, its role aphid infestation remains unexplored. Using immunofluorescence assays biochemical approaches, the HG methylesterification status associated modifying enzymes early stage of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) green peach (Myzus persicae) were...
The firmness of blueberry is one its most significant quality attributes. Modifications in the composition cell wall have been associated with changes fruit firmness. In this work, components and calcium concentration two cultivars contrasting phenotypes were evaluated at harvest 30 days cold storage (0 °C). High performance anion-exchange chromatography pulse amperometric detector (HPAEC-PAD) analysis was performed using “Emerald” (firmer) “Jewel” (softer) cultivars, showing increased...
The remarkable capacity of the generalist aphid Myzus persicae to resist most classes pesticides, along with environmental and human health risks associated these agrochemicals, has necessitated development safer greener solutions control this agricultural pest. Oligogalacturonides (OGs) are pectin-derived molecules that can be isolated from fruit industry waste. OGs have been shown efficiently stimulate plant defenses against pathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae Botrytis cinerea. However,...
