Yeast two-hybrid and label-free proteomics based screening of maize root receptor to cellulase of Trichoderma harzianum
Publication date: Available online 4 October 2018Source: Physiological and Molecular Plant PathologyAuthor(s): Kandasamy Saravanakumar, Shaoqing Wang, Kai Dou, Zhixiang Lu, Jie ChenAbstractWe earlier reported the role of cellulase (Thph1 and Thph2) from Trichoderma harzianum in controlling the Curvularia leaf spot and Fusarium stalk rot through interaction with the maize root. But, the maize root receptor related to cellulase was unknown. Hence, in the present study, we applied label-free proteomics and yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay to screen the root receptor that communicates with cellulase by generating a different combi...

Soil-microbial communities indexing from mangroves rhizosphere and barren sandy habitats
Publication date: December 2018Source: Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 104Author(s): Kandasamy Saravanakumar, Kandasamy Kathiresan, Davoodbasha MubarakAli, Kasinathan Kayalvizhi, Narayanasamy Rajendran, Srinivasan Hemalatha, Jie ChenAbstractThis work assessed the role of mangrove vegetation on soil characteristics of mangrove sediment and barren sandy soil in order to assess the impact of mangrove vegetation on the coastal soil. The soil samples were obtained from three sites (natural mangroves, planted mangroves, and non-mangrove sandy shore) located in the Vellar-coleroon estuarine complex for four se...

Diversity of Meloidogyne spp. from peri-urban areas of sub-Saharan Africa and their genetic similarity with populations from the Latin America
Publication date: Available online 21 September 2018Source: Physiological and Molecular Plant PathologyAuthor(s): Marcilene F.A.dos Santos, Vanessa da Silva Mattos, Jessica M.S. Monteiro, Maria R.A. Almeida, Aldemiro S. Jorge, Juvenil E. Cares, Philippe Castagnone Sereno, Danny Coyne, Regina.M.D.G. CarneiroAbstractIn Africa, peri-urban vegetable production systems supply perishable vegetables to the rapidly expanding urban centers. These highly intensive systems are characterized by high levels of pests and diseases and an excessive use of synthetic pesticides to reduce their population densities. Root-knot nematodes (RKN)...

Biochemical, histopathological and genetic analysis associated with leaf rust infection in wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L.)
Publication date: Available online 19 September 2018Source: Physiological and Molecular Plant PathologyAuthor(s): Reda I. Omara, Khaled A.A. AbdelaalAbstractThe response of Egyptian wheat cultivars (Gemmeiza-7, Gemmeiza-10, Gemmeiza-11 and Gemmeiza-12) against leaf rust was studied at adult stage at two locations during two seasons. The results differentiated cultivars to susceptible and resistant depend upon the epidemiological parameters; FRS (%), AUDPC and r-value. The resistant cultivars, (Gemmeiza-10 and Gemmeiza-12) have the resistant genes; Lr10 and Lr19. However, Gemmeiza-7 and Gemmeiza-11 haven’t any resistant g...
