Jasmonic acid (JA) is a plant hormone that plays an important role in a wide variety of plant physiological processes. The plant pathogenic fungus, Lasiodiplodia theobromae also produces JA; however, its biosynthesis in this fungus has yet to be explored. Administration of [1-(13)C] and [2-(13)C] NaOAc into L. theobromae established that JA in this fungus originates from a fatty acid synthetic ...

Many basic science questions remain regarding protein functions in the pathogen: host interaction, especially in the trunk disease fungi family, the Botryosphaeriaceae, which are a global problem for economically important plants, especially fruiting trees. Proteomics is a highly useful technology for studying protein expression and for discovering novel proteins in unsequenced and poorly annot...

Lasiodiplodan, a (1→6)-β-d-glucan, is an exopolysaccharide with high commercial value and many applications in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics. Current industrial production of β-glucans from crops mostly by chemical routes generating hazardous toxic waste. Therefore, alternative sustainable eco-friendly pathways are highly desirable. Here, we have studied the lasiodiplodan sugarcane bagasse (...

Many factors affect the driving force of fungal growth and secretion. To compare differences Lasiodiplodia theobromae infected poplar wood, changes physical chemical properties vertically horizontally wood before after dyeing were analyzed, infection characteristics studied in this paper. The horizontal was more effective than vertical terms depth, color microscopic hyphal invasion. mycelium fi...
