Engelbrecht, Juanita; Van den Berg, Noelani (AOSIS Open Journals, 2013-11)Avocado (Persea americana) – a major fruit crop worldwide – is threatened by root rot caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi. This pathogen is known to infect the plant via the feeder roots leading to branch dieback, and ...
-
Joubert, Melissa; Backer, Robert; Engelbrecht, Juanita; Van den Berg, Noelani (Public Library of Science, 2021-07)Phytophthora cinnamomi is a plant pathogenic oomycete that causes Phytophthora root rot of avocado (PRR). Currently, there is a limited understanding of the molecular interactions underlying this disease. Other Phytophthora ...

Van den Berg, Noelani; Berger, David Kenneth; Hein, I.; Birch, P.R.J. (Paul); Wingfield, Michael J.; Viljoen, Altus (International Society for Horticultural Science, 2009)Fusarium wilt of banana, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is regarded as one of the most devastating diseases. Cavendish cultivars (AAA genome) are highly susceptible to race 4 of the pathogen. The ...

Martínez-Ferri, E.; Moreno-Ortega, G.; Van den Berg, Noelani; Pliego, C. (BioMed Central, 2019-11-29)BACKGROUND : White root rot (WRR) disease caused by Rosellinia necatrix is one of the most important threats affecting avocado orchards in temperate regions. The eradication of WRR is a difficult task and environmentall ...

Backer, Robert; Naidoo, Sanushka; Van den Berg, Noelani (Frontiers Media, 2019-02-13)The NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES 1 (NPR1) and related NPR1-like proteins are a functionally similar, yet surprisingly diverse family of transcription co-factors. Initially, NPR1 in Arabidopsis was identified ...
