Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powdery mildew of barley, caused by Blumeria (Erysiphe) graminis f. sp. hordei, is a model system for investigating the mechanism of gene-for-gene interaction between large-genome cereals and obligate-fungal pathogens. We used AFLP markers to saturate the Mla region in a high-resolution mapping population. These tightly linked genetic markers were used to develop a physical contig of YAC and BAC clones spanning the Mla cluster. A low- pass and BAC-end sequencing strategies revealed three distinct NBS-LRR resistance-gene homologue (RGH) families in the contig. Genetic and physical mapping delimited the RGH families to a 240-kb interval. Recombination suppression was found within the RGH. The 261,265 bp complete sequence of two overlap BACs spanning the Mla locus revealed thirty-two protein-encoding and two tRNA[Superscript ser] genes. The protein-encoding genes are organized as three gene-rich islands separated by two 40-kb complexes of nested transposable elements and a gene-poor region. Sixteen of these genes are plant-defense related; 12 of these 16 are associated with defense against powdery mildew disease, but function in different signaling pathways. The clustering of those plant defense-related genes is similar to that in the mammalian major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Evolutionary analysis indicated that the present Mla region was developed over 7 million years through several duplication and inversion events in addition to nested TE insertion. A heterochromatic knob-like sequence, KL1HS1, is present in this barley Mla complex. KL1HS1 is hypermethylated and recombination in the region is suppressed. KL1HS1 combines the structural characteristics of the two cloned knobs from Arabidopsis. This knob-like sequence is comprised of a gene-poor core with diverse tandem repeats, a gene- dense island resulting from a 40-kb tandem duplication, and a nested transposable element complex. In contrast to other knobs, KL1HS is gene-rich and transcriptionally active. A positional shift was observed and this shifting resulted from a bidirectional expansion of KL1HS1. Extensive arrays of various tandem duplications in the knob are postulated to arise from a DNA replication slippage mechanism in combination with a hairpin structure of the knob-associated repeats.

Download or read book The Barley Genome written by Nils Stein and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-18 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an overview of the state-of-the-art in barley genome analysis, covering all aspects of sequencing the genome and translating this important information into new knowledge in basic and applied crop plant biology and new tools for research and crop improvement. Unlimited access to a high-quality reference sequence is removing one of the major constraints in basic and applied research. This book summarizes the advanced knowledge of the composition of the barley genome, its genes and the much larger non-coding part of the genome, and how this information facilitates studying the specific characteristics of barley. One of the oldest domesticated crops, barley is the small grain cereal species that is best adapted to the highest altitudes and latitudes, and it exhibits the greatest tolerance to most abiotic stresses. With comprehensive access to the genome sequence, barley’s importance as a genetic model in comparative studies on crop species like wheat, rye, oats and even rice is likely to increase.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This treatise is focused on early aspects of fungal pathogenesis in plant and animal hosts. Our aim in choosing the topics and contributors was to demonstrate common approaches to studies of fungal-plant and fungal-animal interactions, particularly at the biochemical and molecular Ievels. For example, the initial events of adh«sion of fungal spores to the exposed surface tissues of the host are essential for subsequent invasion of the plant or animal and establishment of pathogenesis. A point of consensus among investigators who have directed their attention to such events in plants, insects, and vertebrates isthat spore adhesion to the host cuticle or epithelium is more than a simple binding event. lt is a complex and potentially pivotal process in fungal-plant interactions which "may involve the secretion of ftuids that prepare the infection court for the development of morphological stages of the germling" and subsequent invasion of the host (Nicholson and Epstein, Chapter 1). The attachment of the fungal propagule to the arthropod cuticle is also "mediated by the chemical components present on the outer layer of the spore wall and the epicuticle . . . . Initial attachment may be reinforced further by either the active secretion of adhesive materials or the modification of spore wall materiallocated at the [fungal spore arthropod] cuticle interface (Boucias and Pendland, Chapter 5).

Download or read book Plant Programmed Cell Death written by Arunika N. Gunawardena and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Programmed cell death (PCD) is a genetically encoded, active process which results in the death of individual cells, tissues, or whole organs. PCD plays an essential role in plant development and defense, and occurs throughout a plant’s lifecycle from the death of the embryonic suspensor to leaf and floral organ senescence. In plant biology, PCD is a relatively new research area, however, as its fundamental importance is further recognized, publications in the area are beginning to increase significantly. The field currently has few foundational reference books and there is a critical need for books that summarizes recent findings in this important area. This book contains chapters written by several of the world’s leading researchers in PCD. This book will be invaluable for PhD or graduate students, or for scientists and researchers entering the field. Established researchers will also find this timely work useful as an up-to-date overview of this fascinating research area.

Download or read book Plant pathogen Interactions written by Nicholas J. Talbot and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant diseases are destructive and threaten virtually any crop grown on a commercial scale. They are kept in check by plant breeding strategies that have introgressed disease resistance genes into many important crops, and by the deployment of costly control measures, such as antibiotics and fungicides. However, the capacity for the agents of plant disease - viruses, bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes - to adapt to new conditions, overcoming disease resistance and becoming resistant to pesticides, is very great. For these reasons, understanding the biology of plant diseases is essential for the development of durable control strategies. Plant-Pathogen Interactions provides and overview of our current knowledge of plant-pathogen interactions and the establishment of plant disease, drawing together fundamental new information on plant infection mechanisms and host responses. The role of molecular signals, gene regulation, and the physiology of pathogenic organisms are emphasized, but the role of the prevailing environment in the conditioning of disease is also discussed. Emphasizing the broader understanding that has emerged from the use of molecular genetics and genomics, Plant-Pathogen Interactions highlights those interactions that have been most widely studied and those in which genome information has provided a new level of understanding.
