Wheat blast caused by the hemibiotroph fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum
(MoT) pathotype is a destructive disease of wheat in South America, Bangladesh and …

In this study, the changes in activities of peroxidase (POD), glutathione S-transferase (GST),
catalase (CAT), and superoxide distmuase (SOD) in leaves of four wheat cultivars, including …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a major role in plant defense against pathogens, but
evidence for their role in defense against insects is still preliminary and inconsistent. In this …

The biological role of a secretory catalase of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae was
studied. The internal amino acid sequences of the partially purified catalase in the culture …

Host plants are endowed with several potential defense mechanisms, while pathogens
produce an array of weapons to evade or suppress these defense mechanisms. Montalbini …

Pink snow mould is a disease caused by Microdochium nivale affecting winter cereals and
grasses. In response to pathogen attack, plants initiate oxygen burst within which hydrogen …

Fungal pathogens have evolved antioxidant defense against reactive oxygen species
produced as a part of host innate immunity. Recent studies proposed peroxidases as …

Infection of wheat by Septoria tritici was studied in a compatible (cultivar 'Sevin'-isolate
IPO323) and an incompatible (cultivar 'Stakado'-isolate IPO323) interaction. A second …

Changes in superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity were examined in infected barley
seedlings of five cultivars with the goal to study the role of SOD in the defense mechanism …

Hydrogen peroxide is a signal and effector molecule in the plant response to pathogen
infection. Wheat resistance to Puccinia triticina Eriks. is associated with necrosis triggered by …
