TLDR
expression of chitinase gene was studied by RT-PCR in response to Alternaria brassicae and shows the tissue specificity of the gene, which will help in using this promoter discretely in developing fungus resistant transgenic plants.

Chitin and chitin-related compounds in plant-fungal interactions.

TL;DR: The importance of chitin forms and chit inases in the plant–fungal interactions and their role in persistent and possible biocontrol is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Magnaporthe Chitinase Interacts with a Rice Jacalin-Related Lectin to Promote Host Colonization.

TL;DR: A chitinase from the rice blast fungus targets a rice (Oryza sativa) lectin to suppress plant immune response and Knockdown of OsMBL1 enhances susceptibility of rice plants to M. oryzae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of enzyme activities in carnivorous pitcher plants of the genus Nepenthes.

TL;DR: The study showed that the proteins are universal inductors of enzyme activities in carnivorous pitcher plants best mimicking the presence of insect prey, not surprising, because proteins are a much valuable source of nitrogen, superior to chitin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide identification and characterization of Chitinase gene family in Brassica juncea and Camelina sativa in response to Alternaria brassicae

TL;DR: This study presents the, genome-wide identification and characterization of chitinase gene family in two important oilseed crops B. juncea and C. sativa belonging to family Brassicaceae, and reveals the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging enzymes in disease resistance of B. sativas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression analysis of defense-related genes in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) against Phytophthora melonis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that increased expression of these genes led to activation of defense pathways, and could be responsible for a reduced P. melonis colonization capacity in Ramezz and Baby.

Floral dip: a simplified method for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana

TL;DR: The modified method should facilitate high-throughput transformation of Arabidopsis for efforts such as T-DNA gene tagging, positional cloning, or attempts at targeted gene replacement.

Rapid isolation of high molecular weight plant DNA

TL;DR: A method is presented for the rapid isolation of high molecular weight plant DNA which is free of contaminants which interfere with complete digestion by restriction endonucleases, and which yields total cellular DNA.

Assaying chimeric genes in plants: The GUS gene fusion system

TL;DR: Gene fusions can be defined its DNA constructions that result in the coding sequences from one gene (r@o,ter) being transcribed and/or translated under the direction of the controlling sequences of another gene (cmltrr).
Journal ArticleDOI

Significance of Inducible Defense-related Proteins in Infected Plants

TL;DR: The evolutionary conservation of similar defense-related proteins in monocots and dicots, but also their divergent occurrence in other conditions, suggest that these proteins serve essential functions in plant life, whether in defense or not.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systemic acquired resistance

TL;DR: A model describing the sequence of events leading from initial infection to the induction of defense genes is presented and exciting new data suggest that the mobile signal for SAR might be a lipid molecule.
