Oomycetes from the genus Phytophthora are fungus-like plant pathogens that are devastating for agriculture and natural ecosystems. Due to their particular physiological characteristics, no efficient treatments against diseases caused by these microorganisms are presently available. To develop such treatments, it appears essential to dissect the molecular mechanisms that determine the interaction between Phytoph...
Phytophthora cinnamomi is one among the most destructive species of Phytophthora associated to the decline of forestry, ornamental and fruit species. Associated with this oomycete is the ink disease of Castanea sativa Mill. Glucan endo-1,3-β-D-glucosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,3-β-D-glucoside linkages in callose, laminarin and several carbohydrates found in the cell wall of plants and fungi. It is gener...
The oomycetes form a phylogenetically distinct group of eukaryotic microorganisms that includes some of the most notorious pathogens of plants. Among these, members of the genus Phytophthora cause enormous economic losses on crop species as well as environmental damage in natural ecosystems. Phytophthora cinnamomi is the most widely distributed Phytophthora species, with nearly 1000 host species.
Ink disease is one of the most destructive diseases in Castanea sativa. The most common symptoms are root necrosies and a reduction in root growth, which invariably lead to the death of the trees. Phytophthora cinnamomi is an oomycete associated with this disease whose life cycle develops integrally in the soil. In the present work, was a fragment with 1231bp of the glucan endo-1,3-b-D-glucosidase gene obtained...
A doença celíaca caracteriza-se pela intolerância ou hipersensibilidade à ingestão de prolaminas existentes no trigo, centeio, cevada e aveia. As proteínas do glúten do trigo contêm aproximadamente 50% de prolaminas, denominadas por gliadinas. O tratamento para a doença celíaca consiste em fazer uma dieta livre de glúten. Assim sendo, torna-se imperativo dispor de metodologias analíticas capazes de detectar e q...
The oomycete P. cinnamomi, the causal agent of Castanea sativa ink disease, is one of the most distinctive species of Phytophthora genus, and has been associated with the decline of several forest, ornamental and fruit trees and shrubs, causing enormous economic losses worldwide. Phytophthora cell walls are composed of glucanase and have no chitin. Production of glucanase inhibitor proteins (G IPs) by Phytophth...
