Macromolecule exchange in Cuscuta–host plant interactions

Molecular Size Dependency of Water Macromolecule Exchange Induced Frequency Shift

Introduction: A recent study suggested that water macromolecule exchange (WME) processes can contribute to the in vivo gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) contrast in high field phase imaging [1]. Due to the complex nature of macromolecule-water interaction, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a model system to demonstrate this effect. It is assumed that the WME interaction depends on the...

Direct osmolyte-macromolecule interactions confer entropic stability to folded states.

Protective osmolytes are chemical compounds that shift the protein folding/unfolding equilibrium toward the folded state under osmotic stresses. The most widely considered protection mechanism assumes that osmolytes are depleted from the protein's first solvation shell, leading to entropic stabilization of the folded state. However, recent theoretical and experimental studies suggest that prote...

Plant immunity in plant–aphid interactions

Aphids are economically important pests that cause extensive feeding damage and transmit viruses. While some species have a broad host range and cause damage to a variety of crops, others are restricted to only closely related plant species. While probing and feeding aphids secrete saliva, containing effectors, into their hosts to manipulate host cell processes and promote infestation. Aphid ef...

Priming in plant-pathogen interactions.

Plants can acquire enhanced resistance to pathogens after treatment with necrotizing attackers, nonpathogenic root-colonizing pseudomonads, salicylic acid, beta-aminobutyric acid and many other natural or synthetic compounds. The induced resistance is often associated with an enhanced capacity to mobilize infection-induced cellular defence responses - a process called 'priming'. Although the ph...
