Polysaccharides in wine play important roles the stabilization and sensory properties of wines. Elicitor application constitutes an interesting field research since it is indirectly involved accumulation grape cell walls molecules like callose, lignin, phenolic compounds glycoproteins. Currently, biomimetic calcium phosphate (ACP) nanoparticles are successfully used viticulture for controlled d...

Cell-free extracts of UV-irradiated rice (Oryza sativa L.) leaves have a much greater capacity for the synthesis from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate of diterpene hydrocarbons, including the putative precursors of rice phytoalexins, than extracts of unstressed leaves (KA Wickham, CA West [1992] Arch Biochem Biophys 293: 320-332). An elicitor bioassay was developed on the basis of these observation...

In vitro the production of natural diosgenin from callus culture became an alternative biotechnological approach to production. This study describes effect plant growth regulators (PGRs) on induction and using different elicitors in induce (Diosgenin) parts Balanites Aegyptiacae extract cell lines. Root, stem, leaves calture B. aegyptiacae, were raised Murashing skoog Medium (MS) supplemented w...

Verticillium wilt is a vascular disease of cotton. The causal fungus, Verticillium dahliae, secretes elicitors in culture. We have generated approximately 1,000 5'-terminal expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from a cultured mycelium of V. dahliae. A number of ESTs were found to encode proteins harboring putative signal peptides for secretion, and their cDNAs were isolated. Heterologous expression l...
