Advances in understanding defense mechanisms in Persea americana against Phytophthora cinnamomi

Van den Berg, Noelani; Swart, Velushka; Backer, Robert; Fick, Alicia; Wienk, Raven; Engelbrecht, Juanita; Prabhu, Sreedhara Ashok (MDPI, 2021-03-01)

AfricaAvocado (Persea americana) is an economically important fruit crop world-wide, the production of which is challenged by notable root pathogens such as Phytophthora cinnamomi and Rosellinia necatrix. Arguably the most ...
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 ...
The expression of the NPR1-dependent defense response pathway genes in Persea americana (Mill.) following infection with Phytophthora cinnamomi

Backer, Robert; Naidoo, Sanushka; Van den Berg, Noelani (BMC, 2023-11-08)

A plant’s defense against pathogens involves an extensive set of phytohormone regulated defense signaling pathways. The salicylic acid (SA)-signaling pathway is one of the most well-studied in plant defense. The bulk of ...
The identification and characterization of endopolygalacturonases in a South African isolate of Phytophthora cinnamomi

Miyambo, Tsakani Magdeline; Backer, Robert; Engelbrecht, Juanita; Joubert, Fourie; Van der Merwe, Nicolaas Albertus (Albie); Van den Berg, Noelani (MDPI, 2022-05-20)

Phytophthora cinnamomi is an economically important plant pathogen that has caused devastating losses to the avocado industry worldwide. To facilitate penetration and successful colonization of the host plant, pathogens ...
The nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1 (NPR1) and related family : mechanistic insights in plant disease resistance

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 ...
