  • Expression of several Phytophthora cinnamomi putative RxLRs provides evidence for virulence roles in avocado 
    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 ...
  • Generation of composite Persea americana (Mill.) (avocado) plants : a proof-of-concept study 
    Prabhu, Sreedhara Ashok; Ndlovu, Buyani; Engelbrecht, Juanita; Van den Berg, Noelani (Public Library of Science, 2017-10-20)
    Phytophthora Root Rot in areas where the pathogen is prevalent. However, advances in molecular research are hindered by the lack of a high-throughput transient transformation system in this non-model plant. In this study, ...
  • Plant-associated fungal biofilms—knowns and unknowns 
    Motaung, Thabiso Eric; Peremore, Chizne; Wingfield, Brenda D.; Steenkamp, Emma Theodora (Oxford University Press, 2020-12)
    Nearly all microbes including fungi grow firmly attached to surfaces as a biofilm. Yet, attention towards fungal interactions with plants and the environment is dedicated to free-floating (planktonic) cells. Fungal biofilms ...
