Expression of Arabidopsis pathogenesis-related genes during nematode infection

Expression Analysis of Genes Related to Oxidative Protection During Senescence in Brassica napus

Disease-specific expression of host genes during downy mildew infection of Arabidopsis.

Here, we report on the identification of Arabidopsis genes that are induced during compatible but not during incompatible interactions with the downy mildew pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. This set of so-called compatible specific (CS) genes contrasts with the large group of defense-associated genes that is differentially expressed during both compatible and incompatible interactions. ...

Thermospermine modulates expression of auxin-related genes in Arabidopsis

Thermospermine, a structural isomer of spermine, is widely distributed in the plant kingdom and has been shown to play a role in repressing xylem differentiation by studies of its deficient mutant, acaulis5 (acl5), in Arabidopsis. Our results of microarray and real-time PCR analyses revealed that, in addition to a number of genes involved in xylem differentiation, genes related to auxin signali...

Typhi genes expressed during infection or involved in pathogenesis.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (Typhi), the aetiologic agent of typhoid fever, is a human restricted pathogen. Elucidation of the interactions between the infected host and this pathogen is critical to understand infectious diseases but is deterred by a lack of in vivo infection assays, since Typhi uniquely infects humans and there is no suitable animal model. Macrophages can be used as an a...

Pathogenesis of prosthesis-related infection.

In spite of its incidence decreasing to 1% nowadays, prosthesis-related infection remains a research, diagnostic, therapeutic and cost-related problem. It can be defined as a presence of bacteria in the artificial joint space, which is significantly associated with evident laboratory and/or tissue markers, and clinical signs of running infection. We believe that the more precise understanding o...
