Systemic movement of plant viruses through the host vasculature, one of the central events of the infection process, is essential for maximal viral accumulation and development of disease symptoms. The host plant proteins involved in this transport, however, remain unknown. Here, we examined whether or not pectin methylesterase (PME), one of the few cellular proteins known to be involved in loc...

this manuscript is the result of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology survey on the hezar mountain in se of iran. traditional botanical medicine is the primary mode of healthcare for most of the population of this region. the plants were collected in and around hezar mountain from 2008-2010. the authors have conducted an interview of total 75 informants; the traditional uses of 92 species belongin...

A limited number of fungi can cause wilting disease in plants through colonization of the vascular system, the most well-known being Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum. Like all pathogenic microorganisms, vascular wilt fungi secrete proteins during host colonization. Whole-genome sequencing and proteomics screens have identified many of these proteins, including small, usually cysteine...

The expression of At4g34880 gene encoding amidase in Arabidopsis was characterized in this study. A promoter region of 1.5 kb on the upstream of the start codon of the gene (referred as AmidP) was fused with uidA (GUS) reporter gene, and transformed into Arabidopsis plant for determining its spatial expression. The results indicated that AmidP drived GUS expression in vascular system, predomina...

The vascular tissues of plants are organized as strands of aligned cells in all the main organs. They differentiate from narrow, interconnected provascular cells, which are visible in the early leaf primordia of Arabidopsis thaliana in the top left panel. Plant hormones in the auxin class can induce the formation of additional vascular strands. Because auxins are produced in young leaves and th...

The plant vascular system, composed of the xylem and phloem, is important for the transport of water, mineral nutrients, and photosynthate throughout the plant body. The vasculature is also the primary means by which developmental and stress signals move from one organ to another. Due to practical and technological limitations, proteomics analysis of xylem and phloem sap has been understudied i...

In higher plants phloem and xylem are responsible for long-distance transport of water, nutrients, and signals that act systemically at short or long-distance to coordinate developmental processes. The formation of the plant vascular system is a complex process that integrates signaling events and gene regulation at transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Thanks to transcriptomic and pr...
