Facilitation of Symplastic Effector Protein Mobility by Paired Effectors Is Conserved in Different Classes of Fungal Pathogens.

It has been discovered that plant pathogens produce effectors that spread via plasmodesmata (PD) to allow modulation of host processes in distal uninfected cells. f. sp.

Confirmation and Fine Mapping of the Resistance Locus from the Grapevine Cultivar 'Regent'.

Grapevine ( ssp. ) is a major fruit crop with high economic importance. Due to its susceptibility towards fungal and oomycete pathogens such as and the causal agents of powdery and downy mildew (PM and DM, respectively), grapevine growers annually face a major challenge in coping with shortfalls of yield caused by these diseases.

RNA processing factor 7 and polynucleotide phosphorylase are necessary for processing and stability of nad2 mRNA in Arabidopsis mitochondria.

Post-transcriptional maturation of plant mitochondrial transcripts requires several steps. Among these, the generation of mature 5' ends is still one of the most enigmatic processes. Toward a characterization of proteins involved in 5' processing of mitochondrial transcripts in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), we now analyzed 5' maturation of nad2 transcripts.
