SMALL RNA PROFILING OF CAVENDISH BANANA ROOTS INOCULATED WITH FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM F. SP. CUBENSE RACE 1 AND TROPICAL RACE 4

Small RNA profiling of Cavendish banana roots inoculated with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 1 and tropical race 4

Abstract Fusarium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense (Foc), is considered as one of the most threatening diseases of banana.The Cavendish variety, resistant to Foc race 1 (R1), is susceptible to tropical race 4 (TR4), an aggressive race of the pathogen which is of increasing concern worldwide.Previous st

Evolutionary Reshaping of Fungal Mating Pathway Scaffold Proteins

ABSTRACT Scaffold proteins play central roles in the function of many signaling pathways.Among the best-studied examples are the Ste5 and Far1 proteins of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.These proteins contain three conserved modules, the RING and PH domains, characteristic of some ubiquitin-ligating enzymes, and a vWA domain implicated in prote
