  • A biochemical analysis of the interaction of victorin and oats

    Creator:
    Navarre, Duroy A.
    Abstract:
    Victoria blight of oats is caused by the fungus Cochhobolus victoriae. This fungus is pathogenic due to its ability to produce the host-selective toxin victorin. Previously, a 100-kD protein that binds victorin in vivo only in susceptible genotypes was identified as the P protein of the glycine decarboxylase complex (GDC)....

  • 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...

  • Genetic dissection of Victoria blight disease susceptibility in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Creator:
    Sweat, Teresa A.
    Abstract:
    The fungus Cochliobolus victoriae causes Victoria blight of oats and Arabidopsis and is pathogenic due to its production of a compound called victorin, which induces programmed cell death in sensitive plants. Victorin sensitivity in Arabidopsis is conferred by the dominant gene LOCUS ORCHESTRATING VICTORIN EFFECTS1 (LOV1), which encodes a coiled-coil-nucleotide...
