Small G Protein StRab5b positively regulates potato resistance to .

Rabproteins are the largest members of the small G protein family and are widely distributed in eukaryotes. It comprises eight subfamilies and is responsible for regulating vesicle transport, plant growth and development, and biotic and abiotic stress responses. In this study, the small G protein gene was cloned from potato, and its biological information, expression profile and induced expression level, overexpression and gene silencing were examined on regulating potato resistance to using PCR, qPCR and Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS).

Systemic Colonization of Potato Plants by Leads to Infection of Tubers and Sprouting Buds.

A green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged isolate of was used to study its colonization in potato plants and tubers. Three-week-old potato plants of the highly susceptible cultivar 'Shepody' were inoculated with a conidial suspension of a GFP-tagged isolate of using a wound inoculation method. Colonization was studied using confocal microscopy combined with tissue sections.

Identification and comparison of biological characteristics and pathogenicity of different mating types of V. dahliae isolated from potato and sunflower.

Potato is one of the most important staple crops in the world. China is one of the leading producers of potatoes, but the industry faces soilborne diseases such as Verticillium wilt. Most potato planting areas in China rotate the crop with sunflower which is also highly susceptible to Verticillium wilt.

First Report of Chinese Cabbage Wilt Caused by Plectosphaerella cucumerina in Inner Mongolia of China.

Chinese cabbage [Brassica rapa L. subsp. pekinensis (Lour.

Genome-wide screening and identification of nuclear Factor-Y family genes and exploration their function on regulating abiotic and biotic stress in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.).

The Nuclear Factor-Y (NF-Y) transcription factor (TF), which includes three distinct subunits (NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC), is known to manipulate various aspects of plant growth, development, and stress responses. Although the NF-Y gene family was well studied in many species, little is known about their functions in potato. In this study, a total of 37 potato NF-Y genes were identified, including 11 StNF-YAs, 20 StNF-YBs, and 6 StNF-YCs.

The α-1,6-mannosyltransferase VdOCH1 plays a major role in microsclerotium formation and virulence in the soil-borne pathogen Verticillium dahliae.

Sunflower yellow wilt is a widespread and destructive disease caused by the soil-borne pathogen Verticillium dahliae (V. dahliae). To better understand the pathogenesis mechanism of V.
