Abstract:
... The NBS-LRR genes are functionally responsible for plant resistance to alien pathogens. Here, we show that NBS-LRR genes originated in the common ancestor of the whole green lineage, and have rapidly diverged into three subclasses with different domain combinations (TNL, CNL, and RNL) before the split of green algae. ...

Abstract:
... Since the original ‘Zigzag model’, several iterations have been proposed to reconcile both the Pattern Triggered Immunity (PTI) and the Effector Triggered Immunity (ETI) branches of the plant immune system. The recent cloning of new disease resistance genes, functioning in gene-for-gene interactions, which structurally resemble cell surface broad spectrum Pattern Recognition Receptors, have furthe ...

Abstract:
... Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-binding natural antibody (NAb) titers in chickens are heritable, and higher levels have previously been associated with a higher survival. This suggests that selective breeding for higher NAb levels might increase survival by means of improved general disease resistance. Chickens were divergently selected and bred for total NAb levels binding KLH at 16 weeks of age ...

Abstract:
... Bacterial diseases, common blight, halo blight, brown spot, and wilt are major constraints to the production of dry edible beans in western Nebraska. Owing to a lack of effective control options, these diseases have been difficult to properly manage. Cultivars with partial disease resistance are available for some diseases, but not for all. Furthermore, few chemical products are accessible other t ...

Newly proposed LRR domain harboring the SNP is evolutionary conserved in the Cucurbitaceae and Fabaceae. Anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum devastates many plants. Despite the importance of the disease, the mechanisms of resistance against it are poorly understood. Here, ...

Previous screens for enhanced downy mildew (edm) mutants identified the co‐chaperone SGT1b (EDM1) and the PHD‐finger protein EDM2 as critical regulators of RPP7. Here, we describe a third edm mutant compromised in RPP7 immunity, edm3. EDM3 encodes a nuclear‐localized protein featuring an RNA‐recognition motif. Like EDM2, EDM3 pr ...

Abstract:
... Use of antimicrobial compounds traditionally for the treatment of bacterial infections has become a major concern nowadays, due to the emergence of resistance to conventional antimicrobials. The convergence of these drifts has led to the common incidence of extensively drug-resistant bacteria. This has led to fears of a “post-antibiotic era” in which many bacterial infections will be untreatable. ...

Abstract:
... Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) often lower their host’s future reproductive success by inducing sterility. Females can minimise the reproductive cost of infection by plastically increasing their current reproductive effort (i.e. terminal investment) before they become sterile. In polyandrous systems, long-term female survival or fecundity is often irrelevant to male fitness. Mating with an ...
