The aim of this study was to test nematicidal activity of the Euphorbia trigona latex on Meloidogyne incognita juveniles and to partially purify and characterize three proteases present in this latex. Three distinct proteases were partially purificated from E. trigona latex. They were named here trigonin 1, 2 and 3. Their molecular weights were estimated at: 36, 31 and 29 kDa, for trigonin 1, 2 and 3, respectiv...
Dormancy-Associated gene 1/Auxin Repressed protein (DRM1/ARP) genes are responsive to hormones involved in defense response to biotic stress, such as salicylic acid (SA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA), as well as to hormones that regulate plant growth and development, including auxins. These characteristics suggest that this gene family may be an important link between the response to pathogens and plant growth an...
