Journal ArticleDOI
The proteome of the phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
William Yajima,Nat N. V. Kav +1 more
TL;DR: This is the first comprehensive proteome‐level study of the fungal mycelia and secretome of S. sclerotiorum, and all of the secreted and mycelial proteins identified were functionally classified, and the known and proposed roles in disease initiation or progression for many of them are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of Proteomics to Investigate Plant-Microbe Interactions
TL;DR: The current status of geland non gel-based proteomic techniques is summarized and the significant discoveries that have resulted from the various proteome-level investigations into phytopathogenic microorganisms and plant host-microbe interactions are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptome analysis of the plant pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum interaction with resistant and susceptible canola (Brassica napus) lines
Kishore Chittem,William Yajima,Rubella S. Goswami,Rubella S. Goswami,Luis E. del Río Mendoza +4 more
TL;DR: The regulation of effector genes involved inHost defense suppression or evasion during the early infection stage, and the expression of effectors involved in host cell death in the late stage of infection provide supporting evidence for a two-phase infection model involving a brief biotrophic phase during early stages of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptide from Pinus monticola (PmAMP1) confers resistance to multiple fungal pathogens in canola (Brassica napus).
Shiv S. Verma,William Yajima,Muhammad H. Rahman,Saleh Shah,Jun-Jun Liu,Abul K. M. Ekramoddoullah,Nat N. V. Kav +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that generating transgenic crops expressing PmAMP1 may be an effective and versatile method to protect susceptible crops against multiple phytopathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene Disruption of an Arabinofuranosidase/β-Xylosidase Precursor Decreases Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Virulence on Canola Tissue
TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report that clearly demonstrates that this arabinofuranosidase/beta-xylosidase precursor is a virulence factor for S. sclerotiorum.
