ABSTRACT Pollination of the edible fig (Ficus carica cv. Calimyrna) is mediated by a small symbiotic wasp, Blastophaga psenes, that inhabits the syconium cavity of the spring crop of fig pollinator trees (caprifigs). These fig wasps also carry propagules, mainly of Fusarium verticillioides (formerly F. moniliforme) and other Fusarium spp., which cause endosepsis, from pollinator figs to the edi...

Two cDNA clones exclusively induced under an extremely high-CO2 concentration (20%) were isolated from Chlorococcum littorale by differential screening and named HCR (high-CO2 response) 1 and 2, respectively. The amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by HCR2 exhibited homology to the gp91-phox protein, a critical component of a human phagocyte oxidoreductase, and to the yeast ferric reduct...
