New defenses deployed against plant diseases Date: April 23, 2010 Source: Norwich BioScience Institutes Summary: Researchers have transferred broad spectrum resistance against some important plant ...

In this new research, scientists investigated the tradeoffs in plant defenses against two pathogens. They found that Arabidopsis (thale cress) plants have a protein that regulates certain genes ...

Like animals, plants must continually fight infection by the many pathogens ... defense signaling, including programmed plant cell death. Effector-triggered immunity can be highly effective ...

Previous studies have shown that plants can sense attacks by pathogens and activate their defenses. However, it has not been known what happens between the pathogen attacks and the defense ...

In the study, MacMicking and his colleagues explored the sophisticated cell-autonomous defense programs that plants do employ against pathogens. It turns out that what they lack in tailored antibodies ...

In this webinar, Imogen Binnian will share how AI and gene synthesis technology can accelerate the discovery and validation ...

To guard against herbivorous insects, some plants use a layer ... overlap between herbivore and pathogen resistance, a number of uniquely anti-pathogenic defenses exist (Lambers et al.

Plants, like humans, have evolved sophisticated immune systems to detect pathogens. One key defense strategy involves ... tenet of an immune system's fight against microbial pathogens," explains ...

"It turns out that the caterpillar frass tricks the plant into sensing that it is being attacked by fungal pathogens and mounting a defense against them, thereby suppressing the plant's defenses ...

An international team led by scientists at the Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, UK, have transferred broad spectrum resistance against some important plant diseases across different plant families.

In the study, MacMicking and his colleagues explored the sophisticated cell-autonomous defense programs that plants do employ against pathogens. It turns out that what they lack in tailored ...
