Introduction The Family of pathogenesis-related proteins 10 (PR-10) is widely distributed in
the plant kingdom. PR-10 are multifunctional proteins, constitutively expressed in all plant …

Proteases are an integral part of plant defence systems, and their role in plant–pathogen
interactions is unequivocal. Emerging evidence suggests that different protease families …

Water stress (WS) and heat stress (HS) have a negative effect on soybean plant growth and
crop productivity. Changes in the physiological characteristics, proteome, and specific …

Abstract Background Muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia) is resistant to many of the
pathogens that negatively impact the production of common grape (V. vinifera), including the …

Pierce's disease is a major threat to grapevines caused by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa.
Although devoid of a type 3 secretion system commonly employed by bacterial pathogens to …

Adaptation to changes in the environment depends, in part, on signaling between plant
organs to integrate adaptive response at the level of the whole organism. Changes in the …

Osmotin, a pathogenesis related (PR) protein belonging to PR-5 protein family is induced in
plants exposed to various biotic and abiotic stresses. To evaluate the potential involvement …

Protein biomarkers were identified from bacterial cell lysates of two sequenced strains of
Xylella fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa (Xff), the causal agent of Pierce's Disease of grapevine …

Vitis rotundifolia, commonly known as the muscadine, is a native grape of the southeastern
United States. Muscadine is highly pest resistant and drought tolerant. These properties …

Vascular bundles play important roles in transporting nutrients, growth signals, amino acids,
and proteins between aerial and underground tissues. In order to understand these …
