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 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 ...
