A G-type Lectin Receptor-like Kinase Associated with Septoria Canker Resistance and Susceptibility Described using Multi-omics and Biotechnology

Creator:

Lenz, Ryan R.

Abstract:

Managers of forest and plantation ecosystems are encountering growing problems involving plant pathogens and the expanding geographic ranges of these pathogens. Historically unexposed stands are exceptionally vulnerable when a non-native pathogen is introduced because these pathogens can cause devastating disease in a host population that lacks co-evolved resistance mechanisms. One...

Quorum sensing gene regulation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Creator:

Gupta, Rashmi

Abstract:

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that infects immunocompromised individuals such as those suffering from burns or the genetic disorder cystic fibrosis. This organism utilizes a cell-cell communication mechanism known as quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate virulence gene expression and biofilm formation. It has three interconnected QS systems, namely...

Cooperation and conflict in Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing

Creator:

Wilder, Cara N.

Abstract:

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an environmental bacterium as well as an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects immunocompromised individuals, including those suffering from cystic fibrosis. The density-dependent regulation of gene expression via cell-to-cell communication, also termed quorum sensing (QS), is an important virulence determinant in this organism. Generally, P. aeruginosa uses three...
