The genome of the yellow potato cyst nematode, Globodera rostochiensis, reveals insights into the basis of parasitism and virulence

TL;DR: In this paper, a high quality genome assembly for Globodera rostochiensis was generated, identifying putative effectors and horizontal gene transfer events, map gene expression through the life cycle focusing on key parasitic transitions and sequence the genomes of eight populations including four additional pathotypes to identify variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultraviolet-C priming of strawberry leaves against subsequent Mycosphaerella fragariae infection involves the action of reactive oxygen species, plant hormones, and terpenes.

TL;DR: The involvement of terpenes, reactive oxygen species, and abscisic acid, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid and their transduction factors, in the network underpinning UV-C priming of growing crops for improved protection against pathogens is described for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antifungal Activity of Flocculosin, a Novel Glycolipid Isolated from Pseudozyma flocculosa

TL;DR: Flocculosin, a glycolipid isolated from the yeast-like fungus Pseudozyma flocculosa, displayed antifungal properties against several pathogenic yeasts and no significant cytotoxicity was demonstrated when tested against human cell lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic diversity of the golden potato cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis and determination of the origin of populations in Quebec, Canada.

TL;DR: The golden cyst nematode has been introduced in North America at least twice from distinct regions of the world, and within populations, the highest genetic diversity was consistently observed in the populations from Bolivia, the postulated region of origin of the golden Nemesis.
