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...
Antimicrobial peptides from plants present mechanisms of action that are different from those of conventional defense agents. They are under-explored but have a potential as commercial antimicrobials. Bell pepper leaves (‘Magali R’) are discarded after harvesting the fruit and are sources of bioactive peptides. This work reports the isolation by peptidomics tools, and the identification and partially characteri...
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; Em vias de defesa envolvidas na interação planta/patógeno e planta/ambiente, a modulação da transcrição é etapa fundamental na ativação de respostas intracelulares. Esses mecanismos são regulados principalmente pelos fatores de transcrição (FT), que entre os mais estudados em plantas estão a família basic leucine zipper motif (bZIP). Interações dos ...
