Characterization and expression analysis of a thaumatin-like protein PpTLP1 from ground cherry Physalis pubescens.

Ground cherry, Physalis pubescens, is mainly cultivated as a fruit worldwide and popularly used as a food supplement and traditional Chinese medicine. Plants are challenged by external environmental stress and can initiate resistance to the stress through the regulation of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. Among PR proteins, PR-5, a thaumatin-like protein (TLP), was identified in many plants and found to be able to enhance stress resistance.

Effects of Process Parameters on the Corrosion Resistance and Biocompatibility of Ti6Al4V Parts Fabricated by Selective Laser Melting.

Excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance of implants are essential for Ti6Al4V parts fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) for biomedical applications. To achieve better corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of Ti6Al4V parts, the effects of SLM processing parameters on the corrosion resistance and the biocompatibility of Ti6Al4V parts are investigated by changing the scanning speeds and laser powers. The detailed influence mechanism of processing parameters on the properties of Ti6Al4V parts is studied from two aspects, including microstructure and defects.

A putative effector UvHrip1 inhibits BAX-triggered cell death in , and infection of suppresses defense-related genes expression.

Rice false smut (RFS), caused by , is one of the most detrimental rice fungal diseases and pose a severe threat to rice production and quality. Effectors in often act as a set of essential virulence factors that play crucial roles in the interaction between host and the pathogen. Thus, the functions of each effector in need to be further explored.

UvHrip1, an effector secreted by Ustilaginoidea virens, suppresses basal defense and promotes disease development in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Rice false smut (RFS), caused by Ustilaginoidea virens, is one of the most detrimental rice fungal diseases and pose a severe threat to rice production and quality. Effectors in U. virens often act as a set of essential virulence factors that play crucial roles in the interaction between host and the pathogen.

The Conserved Effector UvHrip1 interacts with OsHGW, and Infection of Regulates Defense- and Heading Date-Related Signaling Pathway.

, which causes rice false smut (RFS), is one of the most detrimental rice fungal diseases and poses a severe threat to rice production and quality. Effectors in often act as a group of essential virulence factors that play crucial roles in the interaction between host and the pathogen. Thus, the functions of individual effectors in need to be further explored.
