Effector-Mediated Suppression of Programmed Cell Death by in Oil Palm.

is the pathogen causing bud rot in oil palm ). This pathogen secretes effector proteins that manipulate host defenses, contributing to disease progression. In this study, we systematically investigated the role of specific effector proteins in suppressing programmed cell death (PCD) in oil palm leaflets.

Photosynthetic Performance of Oil Palm Genotypes under Drought Stress.

Water deficiency and potential drought periods could be important ecological factors influencing cultivation areas and productivity once different crops are established. The principal supply of vegetable oil for oil crops is oil palm, and new challenges are emerging in the face of climatic changes. This study investigated the photosynthetic performance of 12 genotypes of exposed to drought stress under controlled conditions.

Intact HIV reservoir in monocytes is associated with cognitive function in virally suppressed women with HIV.

Background: Monocytes are susceptible to HIV infection, form HIV reservoirs, and contribute to central nervous system complications (e.g., cognitive impairment) in virally suppressed women with HIV(vsWWH).

Integrative Analysis of Transcriptomic Profiles and Physiological Responses Provide New Insights into Drought Stress Tolerance in Oil Palm ( Jacq.).

Oil palm ( Jacq.) is a highly productive crop economically significant for food, cosmetics, and biofuels. Abiotic stresses such as low water availability, salt accumulation, and high temperatures severely impact oil palm growth, physiology, and yield by restricting water flux among soil, plants, and the environment.

Infection of Isolates on .

, a hemibiotrophic oomycete, causes diseases in several economically important tropical crops, such as oil palm, which it is responsible for a devastating disease called bud rot (BR). Despite recent progress in understanding host resistance and virulence mechanisms, many aspects remain unknown in isolates from oil palm. Model pathosystems are useful for understanding the molecular interactions between pathogens and hosts.
