Chemical detection and ultrastructural localization of chitin in cell walls of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum.

TLDR
In this article, WGA-colloidal gold conjugates were used to locate chitin oligomers within fungal structures produced in vitro on Formvar plastic membranes, and during infection of susceptible French bean tissue.

A Phytophthora infestans Cystatin-Like Protein Targets a Novel Tomato Papain-Like Apoplastic Protease

TL;DR: This and earlier studies suggest that interplay between host proteases of diverse catalytic families and pathogen inhibitors is a general defense-counterdefense process in plant-pathogen interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tête à tête inside a plant cell: establishing compatibility between plants and biotrophic fungi and oomycetes.

TL;DR: Various recent studies provide a first glimpse of the pivotal players and potential molecular mechanisms essential for compatibility in both the plant and parasite partners and are highlighted with a particular emphasis on obligate biotrophic and hemibiotrophic fungal and oomycete pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmentally regulated conversion of surface‐exposed chitin to chitosan in cell walls of plant pathogenic fungi

TL;DR: Surface modification of the fungal cell walls by chitin de- N -acetylation is discussed as a fungal strategy to protect cell walls of pathogenic hyphae from enzymatic hydrolysis by host chit inases, and to avoid generation of an auto-catalytic defense response system in the invaded host tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infection structures of fungal plant pathogens – a cytological and physiological evaluation

TL;DR: Events occurring during differentiation of fungal infection structures are reviewed with special emphasis on Magnaporthe grisea, Colletotrichum spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infection structures of biotrophic and hemibiotrophic fungal plant pathogens.

TL;DR: There is clear evidence for molecular differentiation of the haustorial plasma membrane in powdery mildews and rusts in comparison with the other fungal membranes.

Antifungal Hydrolases in Pea Tissue II. Inhibition of Fungal Growth by Combinations of Chitinase and β-1,3-Glucanase

TL;DR: Chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase purified from pea pods have been shown to act synergistically in the degradation of fungal cell walls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant chitinases are potent inhibitors of fungal growth

TL;DR: It is reported here that the main proteinaceous inhibitor of fungal growth in bean leaves is chitinase, an enzyme that can be induced by the plant hormone ethylene, or by pathogen attack.
Journal ArticleDOI

A rapid method for the chemical estimation of filamentous fungi in plant tissue

TL;DR: A sensitive colour reaction is described for estimating fungi which contain chitin, the glucosamine residues of which are susceptible to deamination with nitrous acid, which yields an aldehyde which is determined colorimetrically with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolone hydrazone.
