Genetic and biochemical analysis of Victoria blight : identification of AFLP markers and purification and characterization of the oat saspase

Creator:

Coffeen, Warren C.

Abstract:

Victoria blight of oats (Avena sativa) is caused by the fungus, Cochliobolus victoriae, which produces the toxin, victorin. Victorin production is required for pathogenicity of the fungus. In oats, sensitivity to the toxin and susceptibility to the pathogen is conditioned by a dominant allele at the 1'b locus, while oats...

Evidence for the involvement of a mitochondrial permeability transistion in a victorin-Induced cell death

Creator:

Curtis, Marc James

Abstract:

Production of the host selective toxin victorin is causal to pathogenesis of Cochliobolus victoriae on oats. The dominant Vb gene confers oat sensitivity to victorin, and is genetically inseparable from Pc2, which confers resistance to Puccinia coronata f. sp. avena. Victorin induces apoptotic-like cell death, and cell death is a...
