Open AccessComprehensive transcriptome analysis of different potato cultivars provides insight into early blight disease caused by Alternaria solani
Early blight, caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Alternaria solani, is an economically important disease affecting the tuber yield worldwide. The disease is mainly controlled by chemical plant protection ...

Open AccessMutations introduced in susceptibility genes through CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing confer increased late blight resistance in potatoes
The use of pathogen-resistant cultivars is expected to increase yield and decrease fungicide use in agriculture. However, in potato breeding, increased resistance obtained via resistance genes (R-genes) is ham...

Open AccessIntact salicylic acid signalling is required for potato defence against the necrotrophic fungus Alternaria solani
Using disease bioassays and transcriptomic analysis we show that intact SA-signalling is required for potato defences against the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Alternaria solani.

Open AccessRNA seq analysis of potato cyst nematode interactions with resistant and susceptible potato roots
Potato cyst nematodes (PCN) are important pests in crop production, especially since they persist in the soil and may affect further potato production for many years. Little is known about putative resistance ...

Effector-driven marker development and cloning of resistance genes against Phytophthora infestans in potato breeding clone SW93-1015
We show the usefulness of integrating effector screening in a breeding program and in resistance gene cloning, with Phytophthora resistance in the Swedish po...

Sugar beet extract induces defence against Phytophthora infestans in potato plants
The aim of this study was to find a natural and cheap agent that could induce defence responses in potato plants to combat Phytophthora infestans, which causes late blight disease that is one of the most devastat...

Triacylglycerols are synthesised and utilized by transacylation reactions in microsomal preparations of develo** safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) seeds
Microsomal membrane preparations from the immature cotyledons of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) catalysed the interconversion of the neutral lipids, mono-, di-, and triacylglycerol. Membranes were incubated wi...

Cruciferin gene families are expressed coordinately but with tissue-specific differences during Brassica napus seed development
The major storage protein in seeds of Brassica napus, the 12S globulin cruciferin, is composed of three different groups of subunits; cru1, cru2/3 and cru4. By using gene family-specific probes, we have investiga...

Characterization of a Brassica napus myrosinase pseudogene: myrosinases are members of the BGA family of β-glycosidases
Myrosinase isoenzymes are known to be encoded by two different families of genes denoted MA and MB. Nucleotide sequence analysis of a Brassica napus genomic clone containing a gene for myrosinase revealed it to b...

The glucosinolate-degrading enzyme myrosinase in Brassicaceae is encoded by a gene family
A full-length cDNA clone (MB3) and three partial clones (MA1, MB1 and MB2) which encode myrosinase (thioglucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.3.1) were isolated from a Sinapis alba (white mustard) cDNA library. Nucleo...
