In recent years, whitefly-transmitted begomovirues (family Geminiviridae) have caused severe leaf curl disease on tobacco and tomato in southern China, but have not been found on pepper. In August 2009, pepper plants (Capsicum frutescens) grown in the field in Panzhihua City of Sichuan Province
Various studies have confirmed that the CBF (C-repeat binding factor) family of transcription factors has a key role in regulating many plants' responses to cold stress. Here we isolated CBF3 from sweet pepper (Capsicum frutescens). Green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion protein of CfCBF3 was
In July 2003, noticeable deformations of leaves were observed on a local variety of Capsicum chinense, also called 'Aji dulce', from a pepper plantation located in Venezuela, (Monagas State). 'Aji dulce' is a basic ingredient of the Venezuelan gastronomy with an estimated cultivated area of 2,000
Capsaicinoid biosynthesis involves the participation of two substrates viz. vanillylamine and C(9)-C(11) fatty acid moieties. Vanillylamine which is a derivative of vanillin is synthesized through a transaminase reaction in the phenylpropanoid pathway of capsaicinoid synthesis. Here we report the
Transgenic tobacco (N. tabacum cv. Xanthi nc) expressing Capsicum chinenseCchGLP gene that encodes an Mn-SOD, constitutively produces hydrogen peroxide that increase endogenous ROS levels. Previous studies using these plants against geminivirus infections as well as drought
Capsicum annuum tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-induced clone 1 (CaTin1) gene was expressed early during incompatible interaction of hot pepper (Caspsicum annuum) plants with TMV and Xanthomonas campestris. RNA-blot analysis showed that CaTin1 gene was expressed only in roots in untreated plants and
The stereoselective degradation of the racemic benalaxyl in vegetables such as tomato, tobacco, sugar beet, capsicum, and the soil has been investigated. The two enantiomers of benalaxyl in the matrix were extracted by organic solvent and determined by validated chiral high-performance liquid
During the springs of 2007 and 2008, leaf deformations as well as symptoms of mild green and chlorotic mosaic were observed on pepper (Capsicum annuum) plants grown in Monastir (northwest Tunisia) and Kebili (southeast Tunisia). With the support of projects A/5269/06 and A/8584/07 from the Spanish
Tobacco etch virus (TEV; genus Potyvirus) strains HAT, Mex21, and N were evaluated comparatively for their pathogenicity and effects on growth of Capsicum annuum L. 'Calwonder'. Each TEV strain induced an initial systemic symptom of vein-clearing but subsequent disease symptoms ranged from mild
Capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) is the principal component in Capsicum fruits consumed worldwide as a food additive. Capsaicin is known for its hot, pungent qualities. The tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is viewed as an important
WRKY transcription factors regulate biotic, abiotic, and developmental processes. In terms of plant defense, WRKY factors have important roles as positive and negative regulators via transcriptional regulation or protein-protein interaction. Here, we report the characterization of the gene encoding
From a pathogen-inoculated hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Pukang) leaf EST, we identified a cDNA clone, pCaERFLP1, encoding a putative transcription factor that contains a single ERF/AP2 DNA binding domain. CaERFLP1 was most closely related to tomato LeERF2 (73%), both of which belong to the
A series of microarray analyses employing the expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of hot pepper was conducted in an effort to elucidate the molecular mechanisms inherent to hypersensitive response (HR) by viral or bacterial pathogens. There were 2535 ESTs exhibiting differential expression (over 2-fold
Virus-induced gene silencing is based on the sequence-specific degradation of RNA. Here, a gene silencing vector derived from EuMV-YP, named pEuMV-YP:ΔAV1, was used to silence ChlI and NPR1 genes in Nicotiana benthamiana. The silencing of the ChlI transcripts was efficient in the stems, petioles and
Secreted proteins are known to have multiple roles in plant development, metabolism, and stress response. In a previous study to understand the roles of secreted proteins, Capsicum annuum secreted proteins (CaS) were isolated by yeast secretion trap. Among the secreted proteins, we further
