Abstract

The stimulation of the plant response to pathogen attack by the application of resistance inducers, called elicitors, could represent an environmentally and commercially viable alternative or complement to existing pathogen control methods. In this work, the elicitor chitosan was sprayed on grape (Vitus vinifera L.) berries growing on the vine to shed light into the elicitation mechanisms underlying its application, with untreated bunches as controls. To gain a more comprehensive picture of the complex molecular processes elicited by chitosan, a proteomic approach was complemented by target and untargeted mass spectrometric analyses. The treatment altered the regulation of reactive oxygen species, with Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase and glyoxal oxidase showing up-accumulation. This might lead to an increased lignification via hypersensitive response mechanisms. Furthermore, enzymes involved in anthocyanin rather than stilbene phytoalexins accumulated in treated bunches. Stilbenes increased from 1.6 times (resveratrol) up to 3.8 times (piceid) over untreated bunches. The up accumulation of hydroperoxide lyase might lead to accumulation of oxylipins. Furthermore, the pentacyclic triterpenoids ursolate, oleanoate and betulinate increa...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
