Chemical stimulation of sexual reproduction in Phytophthora and Pythium
The genera of Phytophthora and Pythium are two of the very destructive groups of plant pathogens in the world (Plaats-Niterink, 1981; Erwin and Ribeiro, 1996). They attack mainly mature plants and young seedlings, respectively, of forest, fruit, vegetable, flower, and ornamental species. These two groups of fungi are classified in the family Pythiaceae of the Oomycetes, which is excluded from t...
متن کاملGene expression during oosporogenesis in heterothallic and homothallic Phytophthora.
A large-scale screen for genes induced during sexual development was performed in the heterothallic oomycete Phytophthora infestans, the potato blight agent. Of 15,644 unigenes on an Affymetrix chip, 87 were induced >10-fold during mating, with 28 induced >100-fold. This was validated in independent matings using RNA blots and RT-PCR. Only 44 genes resembled sequences in GenBank. These encoded ...
متن کاملHormonal regulation of metamorphosis and reproduction in ticks.
The presence of a "status quo" hormone like JH has not been found in ticks. The most advanced understanding of tick endocrinology is associated with female reproduction, where the sequence of the first messages for storage proteins (vitellogenin (Vg) and carrier protein), the Vg receptor, and male peptidic pheromones were recently reported. The current consensus model suggests that ecdysteroids...
متن کاملEffect of culture origin on chemical stimulation of sexual reproduction in Phytophthora and Pythium
Lecithin washed with NaCl solution was stimulatory to oospore formation of Phytophthora boehmeriae, P. sojae, P. cactorum, and Pythium aphanidermatum. Commercial glycerides of palmitic acid with 99% purity were found to contain a substance inhibitory to oospore formation. Purification with florisil column chromatography was more effective in removing the inhibitory substance than thin-layer chr...
متن کاملEffect of Steric and Nuclear Changes in Steroids and Triterpenoids on Sexual Reproduction in Phytophthora cactorum.
The comparative biological activity of 21 naturally occurring or synthetically derived steroids, 7 tetracyclic and pentacylic triterpenoids, and antheridiol incubated with cultures of Phytophthora cactorum has been examined. There was greater dependence on precise steric features of the sterol side chain than on the extent of nuclear unsaturation in inducing oospore formation. There was no sign...
