TL;DR: A survey to query the community for their ranking of plant-pathogenic oomycete species based on scientific and economic importance received 263 votes from 62 scientists in 15 countries for a total of 33 species and the Top 10 species are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signal transduction in the plant immune response
TL;DR: Alternative resistance mechanisms in Arabidopsis are deployed against different types of pathogens; these mechanisms are mediated by either salicylic acid or the growth regulators jasmonic acid and ethylene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong, constitutive expression of the Arabidopsis ACT2/ACT8 actin subclass in vegetative tissues
Yong Qiang An,John M. McDowell,Shurong Huang,Elizabeth C. McKinney,Sharon Chambliss,Richard B. Meagher +5 more
TL;DR: Gene-specific RNA gel blot hybridization and reverse transcriptase-mediated polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays showed that ACT2 and/or ACT8mRNAs were coordinately and strongly expressed in leaves, roots, stems, flowers, pollen, and siliques, suggesting that the function and regulation of these two genes have been conserved during the evolution of the Brassicaceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intragenic recombination and diversifying selection contribute to the evolution of downy mildew resistance at the rpp8 locus of arabidopsis
John M. McDowell,Murali Dhandaydham,Terri A. Long,Mark G. M. Aarts,Stephen A. Goff,Eric B. Holub,Jeffery L. Dangl +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the RPP8 gene was cloned and the structure of alleles at this locus in resistant Landsberg erecta (L er -0) and susceptible Columbia (Col-0) accessions were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genome sequence of the oomycete Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis is reported, an obligate biotroph and natural pathogen of Arabidopsis thaliana, which exhibits dramatic reductions in genes encoding RXLR effectors, proteins associated with zoospore formation and motility, and enzymes for assimilation of inorganic nitrogen and sulfur.
