Genome-wide identification of glutamate receptor genes in adzuki bean and the roles of these genes in light and rust fungal response.

Plant glutamate receptor proteins (GLRs) are involved in plant development, biotic stress, and light-signal transduction. Vigna angularis is a traditional crop with important economic value in China, and the identification of functional genes can facilitate the breeding of stress resistant varieties. Here, we identified the members of the GLR gene family in the adzuki bean genome and investigated gene expression under light and rust fungal (Uromyces vignae) stimuli.

A matter of life and death: The power of personal networks for medical crowdfunding performance.

Medical crowdfunding is an accessible alternative for individuals to meet their unaffordable health needs. This study explores the role of personal networks in medical crowdfunding performance from the perspective of tie strength and whether gender inequality persists in the returns of personal networks in this survival context, using bilateral data of both the ego and the alters collected from a large representative medical crowdfunding platform in China. It is found that kin ties play a fundamental and predominant role while pseudo-kin ties, being less strong than kin ties in terms of mutual sentiment and reciprocal obligations to help each other, play an accumulative role and are more influential in increasing crowdfunding performance, and neighbour and other role relations have the weakest effect and contribution.

A natriuretic peptide molecule from Vigna angularis, VaEG45, confers rust resistance by inhibiting fungal development.

Novel function and mechanism of a PNP molecule VaEG45 from adzuki bean involved in plant immunity. Plant natriuretic peptides (PNPs) can affect a broad spectrum of physiological responses in plants acting as peptidic signaling molecules. However, PNPs may play additional roles in plant immunity.

Histological and molecular responses of Vigna angularis to Uromyces vignae infection.

Background: To advance the understanding of adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) resistance to infection with the rust-causing fungus Uromyces vignae (Uv), we comprehensively analyzed histological events and the transcriptome of Uv-infected adzuki bean.

Results: Compared with the susceptible cv. Baoqinghong (BQH), the resistant cv.

Unconventional Recombination in the Mating Type Locus of Heterothallic Apple Canker Pathogen .

Sexual reproduction in filamentous ascomycetes is controlled by the mating type () locus, including two idiomorphs and Understanding the locus can provide clues for unveiling the sexual development and virulence factors for fungal pathogens. The genus (Sordariomycetes, Diaporthales) contains many tree pathogens responsible for destructive canker diseases. The sexual stage of these ascomycetes is occasionally observed in nature, and no locus has been reported to date.

Selection and Validation of Reference Genes for Gene Expression Analysis in Vigna angularis Using Quantitative Real-Time RT-PCR.

Adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) is one of the most important legume crops in Asian countries like China, Japan and Korea due to its nutritious protein and starch contents. In spite of its economic importance, gene expression analysis system for gene function verification of adzuki bean is still absent. Therefore, reference genes for gene expression analysis based on the quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) were screened in current study.

Clg2p interacts with Clf and ClUrase to regulate appressorium formation, pathogenicity and conidial morphology in Curvularia lunata.

Ras is a small GTPase that regulates numerous processes in the cellular development and morphogenesis of many organisms. In this study, we identified and functionally characterized the Clg2p gene of Curvularia lunata, which is homologous with the Ras protein. The Clg2p deletion mutant (ΔClg2p) had altered appressorium formation and conidial morphology and produced fewer, smaller lesions compared with the wild-type strain.

Studies on the Infection, Colonization, and Movement of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae in Kiwifruit Tissues Using a GFPuv-Labeled Strain.

Kiwifruit bacterial canker, an economically important disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), has caused severe losses in all major areas of kiwifruit cultivation. Using a GFPuv-labeled strain of Psa, we monitored the invasion, colonization, and movement of the pathogen in kiwifruit twigs, leaves and veins.

[Identification of a fungal isolate causing adzuki bean rust in Heilongjiang].

Objective: The aim of the study is to identify the pathogen causing adzuki bean (Phaseolus angularis) rust in Daqing, Heilongjiang province.

Methods: Adzuki bean rust leaves were collected from Daqing, Heilongjiang province, China. A pure culture of rust isolate ZXL01 was obtained by single pustule isolation.

Genome sequence of Valsa canker pathogens uncovers a potential adaptation of colonization of woody bark.

Canker caused by ascomycetous Valsa species are among the most destructive diseases of woody plants worldwide. These pathogens are distinct from other pathogens because they only effectively attack tree bark in the field. To unravel the potential adaptation mechanism of bark colonization, we examined the genomes of Valsa mali and Valsa pyri that preferentially infect apple and pear, respectively.

Transcriptome profiling to identify genes involved in pathogenicity of Valsa mali on apple tree.

Apple Valsa canker, caused by the fungus Valsa mali (Vm), is one of the most destructive diseases of apple in China. A better understanding of this host-pathogen interaction is urgently needed to improve management strategies. In the current study we sequenced the transcriptomes of Vm during infection of apple bark and mycelium grown in axenic culture using Illumina RNA-Seq technology.

Validation of reference genes for gene expression analysis in Valsa mali var. mali using real-time quantitative PCR.

Valsa mali var. mali (Vmm), is the predominant species of apple valsa canker in China. Modern analysis of genes involved in virulence or pathogenicity usually implicate gene expression analysis most often performed using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).
