A Gene Involves in the Adaptation of to Methyl Gallate and Other Stresses.

is a plant-pathogenic bacterium causing plant bacterial wilt, and can be strongly inhibited by methyl gallate (MG). Our previous transcriptome sequencing of MG-treated showed that the gene of Rs-T02 was up-regulated significantly under MG stress. In this study, a deletion mutant (named DM3545) and an over-expression strain (named OE3545) for were constructed to confirm this hypothesis.

First Report of Stagonosporopsis vannaccii Causing Leaf Spot on Crassocephalum crepidioides in China.

Crassocephalum crepidioides (Benth.) S. Moore, native to tropical Africa, is an important invasive weed in many countries, seriously threatening the safety of agricultural ecosystem.

Physiological and Transcriptional Response of pv. to Berberine, an Emerging Chemical Control.

Berberine, a botanical drug, has great ability to inhibit the growth of pv. . However, the antibacterial mechanism of berberine against pv.

Light deprivation produces distinct morphological orchestrations on RGCs and cortical cells in a depressive-like YFP-H mouse model.

Neural physiological functions and synaptic changes underlying the pathogenesis of depression have obtained great achievements. However, neuronal morphological changes under a depressive state have not been well understood yet. Here a depressive-like YFP-H transgenic mouse model was produced by light deprivation (LD), and morphological changes of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and primary visual and auditory cortical layer 5 pyramidal cells (L5PCs) were investigated.

Alterations of motor cortical microcircuit in a depressive-like mouse model produced by light deprivation.

Depression is one of the most prevalent and life-threatening forms of mental illness. The heavy social burden imposed by this disorder calls for a better understanding of its pathogenesis. Light deficiency is an important factor potentially leading to depression.

Isolation of Methyl Gallate from Toxicodendron sylvestre and Its Effect on Tomato Bacterial Wilt.

We determined that the methanol extract of Toxicodendron sylvestre could significantly inhibit Ralstonia solanacearum in vitro and in planta. One compound responsible for the antibacterial activity was isolated from the ethyl ether extract and identified as methyl gallate (MG) based on its H and C nuclear magnetic resonance data as well as mass spectroscopy. MG displayed broad-spectrum activity against plant-pathogenic bacteria, and strong inhibitory effects on the growth of plant-pathogenic oomycetes.
