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 ...

Backer, Robert; Engelbrecht, Juanita; Van den Berg, Noelani (Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022-06-28)The hemibiotrophic plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands is the most devastating pathogen of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) and, as such, causes significant annual losses in the industry. Although the molecular ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fick, Alicia; Swart, Velushka; Backer, Robert; Bombarely, Aureliano; Engelbrecht, Juanita; Van den Berg, Noelani (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-03-11)Avocado is an important agricultural food crop in many countries worldwide. Phytophthora cinnamomi, a hemibiotrophic oomycete, remains one of the most devastating pathogens within the avocado industry, as it is near ...

Backer, Robert; Mahomed, Waheed; Reeksting, Bianca J.; Engelbrecht, Juanita; Ibarra-Laclette, Enrique; Van der Berg, Noelani (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-04)The NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES1 (NPR1) forms an integral part of the salicylic acid (SA) pathway in plants and is involved in cross-talk between the SA and jasmonic acid/ethylene (JA/ET) pathways. Therefore, ...
