Objective: Cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) nanoparticles have been shown to protect cells in culture
from lethal stress, but no protection in vivo has been reported. Cardiac-specific expression of …

Surface signaling plays a major role in fungal infection. Topographical features of the plant
surface and chemicals on the surface can trigger germination of fungal spores and …

The surface wax of the host, avocado (Persea americana) fruit, induced germination and
appressorium formation in the spores of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Waxes from nonhost …

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been found to be associated with neurodegenerative
diseases and diabetes mellitus. Whether ER stress is involved in the development of heart …

Fungal pathogens usually have multiple genes that encode extracellular hydrolytic enzymes
that may degrade the physical barriers in their hosts during the invasion process. Nectria …

The World Health Organization has declared the emergence of antibiotic resistance to be a
global threat to human health. Broad-host-range plasmids have a key role in causing this …

Fusarium solani f sp pisi (Nectria haematococca) isolate 77-2-3 with one cutinase gene
produced 10 to 20% of the cutinase produced by isolate T-8 that has multiple cutinase genes, …

Although biofilms represent a common bacterial lifestyle in clinically and environmentally
important habitats, there is scant information on the extent of gene transfer in these spatially …

In spite of the contribution of plasmids to the spread of antibiotic resistance in human pathogens,
little is known about the transferability of various drug resistance plasmids in bacterial …

Broad-host-range plasmids are known to spread genes between distinct phylogenetic
groups of bacteria. These genes often code for resistances to antibiotics and heavy metals or …
