An engineered innate immune defense protects grapevines from Pierce disease
We postulated that a synergistic combination of two innate immune functions, pathogen surface recognition and lysis, in a protein chimera would lead to a robust class of engineered antimicrobial th...
Infections of the Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca Strain "De Donno" in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) Elicits an Overactive Immune Response
Diseases caused by Xylella fastidiosa are among the most destructive for several agricultural productions. A deadly disease of olive, termed olive quick decline syndrome, is one of the most recent ...
Lipopolysaccharide O-antigen delays plant innate immune recognition of Xylella fastidiosa
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are among the known pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). LPSs are potent elicitors of PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI), and bacteria have evolved intricate mechani...
O antigen acts as a shield to delay early plant immune recognition of the pathogenic bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa
PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) is the first line of plant defense against invading organisms. Initiated through the perception of conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as li...
Transcriptome changes in Arabidopsis thaliana infected with Pseudomonas syringae during drought recovery
Field-grown plants experience cycles of drought stress and recovery due to variation in soil moisture status. Physiological, biochemical and transcriptome responses instigated by recovery are expec...
