POLYSACCHARIDE COMPOUNDS AND USE OF SAME FOR STIMULATING DEFENCE RESPONSES OF PLANTS AGAINST PATHOGENIC MICROORGANISMS
2020
The present invention relates to novel oligogalacturonans having a degree of methylation of 0 and a degree of polymerisation of 1 to 10, and to use there of for stimulating defence responses of plants against pathogenic microorganisms.
Chitin Deacetylase, a Novel Target for the Design of Agricultural Fungicides
2021
Fungicide resistance is a serious problem for agriculture. This is particularly apparent in the case of powdery mildew fungi. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new agrochemicals. Chitin is a well-known elicitor of plant immunity, and fungal pathogens have evolved strategies to overcome its detection. Among these strategies, chitin deacetylase (CDA) is responsible for modifying immunogenic chitooligomers and hydrolysing the acetamido group in the N-acetylglucosamine units to avoid recognition. In this work, we tested the hypothesis that CDA can be an appropriate target for antifungals using the cucurbit powdery mildew pathogen Podosphaera xanthii. According to our hypothesis, RNA…
