Signaling crosstalk in the Ve-resistance locus of tomato
Verticillium is a fungal pathogen that causes vascular wilt disease in over 200 species of plants, including many crops. The fungus invades through the root and enters the water conducting xylem where it proliferates and rapidly becomes
Getting health allies from agriculture enemies
In recent years, research in nanotechnologies has demonstrated that nanometer-sized particles constructed using a wide array of materials (e.g. metals, lipids, polymers, proteins) can offer answers to unmet questions concerning drug/vaccine delivery. Ideally, these systems should prevent
How plant virus hides from the host cellular degradation machinery
The main goal of obligatory viral parasites is to create the perfect environment for its multiplication. Therefore, the first step is to avoid degradation by the host cellular degradation. Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is not
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of genomic DNA from in vitro grown tomato
Conservation of plant genetic resources is necessary for food security and to safeguard biodiversity which is essential for genetic engineering and plant breeding programmes. Conservation of plant resources can be achieved either in their natural habitats (in
