The hypersensitivity resistance response directed by the N' gene in Nicotiana sylvestris is elicited by the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) coat protein R46G, but not by the U1 wild-type TMV coat protein. In this study, the structural and hydrodynamic properties of R46G and wild-type coat proteins were
The RXLR cytoplasmic effector AVR3a of Phytophthora infestans confers avirulence on potato plants carrying the R3a gene. Two alleles of Avr3a encode secreted proteins that differ in only three amino acid residues, two of which are in the mature protein. Avirulent isolates carry the Avr3a allele,
Daidzein is a common isoflavone, having multiple biological effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-allergy, and anti-aging. α-Tocopherol is the tocopherol isoform with the highest vitamin E activity including anti-allergic activity and anti-cancer activity. Hesperetin is a flavone, which shows
All organisms require a minimal amount of metal ions to sustain their metabolism, growth and development. At the same time, their intrinsic metal-uptake systems render them vulnerable to toxic levels of metals in the biosphere. Using radiolabeled recombinant calmodulin as a probe to screen a tobacco
Alterations in the structure of the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) coat protein affect the elicitation of the N' gene hypersensitive response (HR) in Nicotiana sylvestris. To investigate this structure-function relationship, amino acid substitutions with predicted structural effects were created
In Nicotiana sylvestris, the N' gene confers hypersensitive resistance to some strains of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) but not to the common strain. TMV sequences responsible for inducing local lesion formation in this host were identified by using cDNA clones to construct genomic recombinants between
Plant heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs) are the critical components involved in mediating responses to various environmental stressors. However, the detailed roles of many plant Hsfs are far from fully understood. In this study, an Hsf (SlHsfA3) was isolated from the cultivated tomato
Since they function as cell wall-loosening proteins, expansins can affect plant growth, developmental processes and environmental stress responses. Our previous study demonstrated that changes in Nicotiana tabacum α-expansin 4 (EXPA4) expression affect the sensitivity of tobacco to Tobacco mosaic
In 2006 and 2007, a new bacterial disease was observed in field-cultivated soybeans in Boeun District and Munkyung City of Korea. The disease caused severe blighting of soybean (Glycine max) leaves. Soybean leaves in fields showed yellowish spots with brown centers. Brown and dead areas of variable
Two forms of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci cause wildfire (Tox+) and angular leaf spot (Tox-) diseases of tobacco in Zimbabwe. Two races of the pathogen (races 0 and 1) occur in Zimbabwe (4). Two groups of cultivars are available: one with resistance to race 0 only, tbe
The activities of lectins and peroxidase and lignin content were studied in the perilesional area of leaves in two tobacco species (Nicotiana tabacum L., cultivar Samsun NN, and N. glutinosa L.) inoculated with tobacco mosaic virus. The development of hypersensitivity response proved to be
ABSTRACT Infection of Nicotiana obtusifolia plant introduction (PI) #555573 by the downy mildew pathogen Peronospora tabacina resulted in a compatible interaction, in which P. tabacina penetrated and freely colonized host leaf tissue. This interaction became incompatible 5 to 6 days later, with the
