  • Secreted Agrobacterium rhizogenes Effector Protein GALLS Interacts with Arabidopsis Host Proteins and Stimulates Agrobacterium-mediated Transformation

    Creator:
    Wei, Wei
    Abstract:
    Agrobacterium species transform plant cells by targeting a portion of plasmid-encoded bacterial DNA to the host nucleus. Genetic transformation by A. tumefaciens and A. rhizogenes requires secreted effector proteins. The tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid from virulent A. tumefaciens encodes VirE2, a secreted single-stranded DNA-binding protein required for efficient transformation of hosts....

  • Examination of the role host-selective toxins play in fungal-plant interactions

    Andrie, Rachael M.
    Abstract:
    Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot of wheat, produces multiple host-selective toxins (HSTs), including Ptr ToxA, encoded for by ToxA, Ptr ToxB, encoded for by ToxB, and Ptr ToxC. Variable distribution of these three HSTs among different isolates of P. tritici-repentis, both singularly and in all possible combinations, defines...

  • Identification and characterization of type III effector proteins in plant-associated bacteria

    Creator:
    Thomas, William J.
    Abstract:
    Symbioses between microbes and multicellular eukaryotes are found in all biomes, and encompass a spectrum of symbiotic lifestyles that includes parasitism and disease, commensalism, and mutually beneficial interdependent host-microbe relationships. Regardless of outcome, these symbiotic lifestyles are governed by a complex molecular "courtship" between microbe and potential host. This courtship...
