Accumulation of a maize proteinase inhibitor in response to wounding and insect feeding, and characterization of its activity toward digestive proteinases of Spodoptera littoralis larvae.

Only registered users can translate articles

The mpi gene encodes a maize proteinase inhibitor (MPI) protein whose mRNA accumulates in response to mechanical wounding. In this study, mpi gene expression in response to different types of damage was investigated. In mechanically damaged leaves of maize (Zea mays L.), mpi mRNA accumulation was

Effects of a potato cysteine proteinase inhibitor on midgut proteolytic enzyme activity and growth of the southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).

Only registered users can translate articles

The major proteinase activity in extracts of larval midguts from the southern corn rootworm (SCR), Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi, was identified as a cysteine proteinase that prefers substrates containing an arginine residue in the P1 position. Gelatin-zymogram analysis of the midgut

Expression of a maize proteinase inhibitor gene is induced in response to wounding and fungal infection: systemic wound-response of a monocot gene.

Only registered users can translate articles

The isolation and characterization of cDNA and genomic clones encoding a proteinase inhibitor protein (MPI) in maize is reported. Accumulation of the MPI mRNA is induced in response to fungal infection in germinating maize embryos. The expression pattern of the MPI gene, in healthy and fungal

Changes in midgut endopeptidase activity of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) are responsible for adaptation to soybean proteinase inhibitors.

The development of transgenic maize plants expressing soybean proteinase inhibitors could reduce the economic damage of one of the major maize pests in Brazil, the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith, 1797). We examined the influence of soybean proteinase inhibitors on digestive enzyme

Plant elicitor peptides are conserved signals regulating direct and indirect antiherbivore defense.

Only registered users can translate articles

Insect-induced defenses occur in nearly all plants and are regulated by conserved signaling pathways. As the first described plant peptide signal, systemin regulates antiherbivore defenses in the Solanaceae, but in other plant families, peptides with analogous activity have remained elusive. In the

Resistance of cultivated tomato to cell content-feeding herbivores is regulated by the octadecanoid-signaling pathway.

Only registered users can translate articles

The octadecanoid signaling pathway has been shown to play an important role in plant defense against various chewing insects and some pathogenic fungi. Here, we examined the interaction of a cell-content feeding arachnid herbivore, the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch), with

Root herbivory: molecular analysis of the maize transcriptome upon infestation by Southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi.

Only registered users can translate articles

While many studies have characterized changes to the transcriptome of plants attacked by shoot-eating insect pests, few have examined transcriptome-level effects of root pests. Maize (Zea mays) seedlings were subjected to infestation for approximately 2 weeks by the root herbivore southern corn

The Competence of Maize Shoot Meristems for Integrative Transformation and Inherited Expression of Transgenes.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have developed a novel and reproducible system for recovery of fertile transgenic maize (Zea mays L.) plants. The transformation was performed using microprojectile bombardment of cultured shoot apices of maize with a plasmid carrying two linked genes, the Streptomyces hygroscopicus

Maize calcium-dependent protein kinase (ZmCPK11): local and systemic response to wounding, regulation by touch and components of jasmonate signaling.

Only registered users can translate articles

Expression of ZmCPK11, a member of the maize (Zea mays) calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) family, is induced by mechanical wounding. A rapid increase of the activity of a 56-kDa CDPK has been observed in damaged leaves. In the present work, it is shown that the 56-kDa CDPK, identified as

(Z)-3-Hexenol induces defense genes and downstream metabolites in maize.

Only registered users can translate articles

In response to insect feeding, corn plants (Zea mays cv. Delprim) release elevated levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including the C(6)-volatile (Z)-3-hexenol. The level of mRNA accumulation for a series of defense genes was monitored in response to application of (Z)-3-hexenol (50 nmol)

Host-specific salivary elicitor(s) of European corn borer induce defenses in tomato and maize.

Only registered users can translate articles

Plants turn on induced defenses upon insect herbivory. In the current study, we evaluated the role of European corn borer (ECB) elicitors (molecules secreted by herbivores) that either induce/suppress defenses in Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) and Zea mays (maize), two very important crop plants that

Inducible maize defense mechanisms against the corn borer Sesamia nonagrioides: a transcriptome and biochemical approach.

Only registered users can translate articles

In spite of multiple studies elucidating individual defense mechanisms against stalk borer feeding, little information is available about the plant response to these members of Lepidoptera. Four maize inbred lines were cultivated in a greenhouse and challenged with larvae of the corn borer Sesamia

Fall Armyworm-Associated Gut Bacteria Modulate Plant Defense Responses.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mechanical damage caused by insect feeding along with components present in insect saliva and oral secretions are known to induce jasmonic acid-mediated defense responses in plants. This study investigated the effects of bacteria from oral secretions of the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda on
