Since the leaf apoplast is a primary habitat for many plant pathogens, apoplastic proteins are potent, ancient targets for apoplastic effectors secreted by plant pathogens. So far, however, only a few apoplastic effector targets have been identified and characterized. Here, we discovered that the papain-like cysteine protease C14 is a new common target of EPIC1 and EPIC2B, two apoplastic, cysta...

Antimicrobial efficiency of Solanum melongena seed extracts was examined using methanol, chloroform, acetone and petroleum ether, as solvents and tested against four human pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus vulgaris using Agar Well Diffusion Method. The phytochemical analysis of Solanum melongena seed was also made. The methan...
