  • Molecular Mimicry Modulates Plant Host Responses to Pathogens
    Annals of Botany 121: 17–23, 2018 doi:10.1093/aob/mcx125, available online at www.academic.oup.com/aob INVITED REVIEW Molecular mimicry modulates plant host responses to pathogens Pamela Ronald* and Anna Joe Department of Plant Pathology and the Genome Center, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA. *For correspondence. E-mail [email protected] Received: 15 June 2017 Returned for revision: 12 July 2017 Editorial decision: 11 September 2017 Accepted: 14 September 2017 • Background Pathogens often secrete molecules that mimic those present in the plant host. Recent studies indicate that some of these molecules mimic plant hormones required for development and immunity. • Scope and Conclusion This Viewpoint reviews the literature on microbial molecules produced by plant pathogens that functionally mimic molecules present in the plant host. This article includes examples from nematodes, bacteria and fungi with emphasis on RaxX, a microbial protein produced by the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. RaxX mimics a plant peptide hormone, PSY (plant peptide containing sulphated tyrosine). The rice immune receptor XA21 detects sulphated RaxX but not the endogenous peptide PSY. Studies of the RaxX/XA21 system have provided insight into both host and pathogen biology and offered a framework for future work directed at understanding how XA21 and the PSY receptor(s) can be differentially activated by RaxX and endogenous PSY peptides. Key words: Molecular mimicry, plant pathogen, microbial mimic, RaxX, XA21, PSY, engineering receptor INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS BIOLOGICAL MIMICRY? these microbially produced molecules mimic plant hormones that control growth, development, and regulation of innate Biological mimicry and molecular mimicry immunity.

Sustainable Agriculture II. Engineering Resistance to Bacterial Infection and Tolerance to Environmental Stresses Part II: Engineering Resistance to Bacterial Infection and Tolerance to Environmental Stresses Download: High Res Low Res Resources: Related Articles Trouble Viewing? Try it on iTunes. Report a problem. Lecture Overview In her lecture, Ronald emphasizes the importance of developing sustainable agricultural practices that will allow the world’s population to be fed without destroying the Earth. Ronald demonstrates that modern genetics approaches have facilitated development of new crop varieties that can increase crop yields while reducing insecticide use. She proposes that the judicious incorporation of two important strands of agriculture—agricultural biotechnology and agroecological practices—is key to helping feed the growing population and she provides compelling examples to support her stand. In Part 2, Ronald discusses one of the greatest challenges of our time: how to feed the growing population in the presence of disease and environmental stresses that threaten the world’s crops. Currently, twenty-five percent of the world’s rice is grown in flood prone areas. Ronald and her colleagues characterized a gene, Sub1A, that confers tolerance to two weeks of flooding. They demonstrate that transferring Sub1A to a highly intolerant rice species is sufficient for the crop to tolerate submergence in water. Ronald shifts gears to discuss another gene, Xa21, that she and her colleagues discovered that controls the rice immune response.

  • A Dual-Perspective Approach to Understanding Collegial Information Mediation in the Workplace by Ji Yeon Yang a Dissertation
    A Dual-Perspective Approach to Understanding Collegial Information Mediation in the Workplace by Ji Yeon Yang A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Information) in The University of Michigan 2013 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Soo Young Rieh, Chair Professor Mark Steven Ackerman Professor Chun Wei Choo, University of Toronto Assistant Professor Michael T. Heaney Assistant Professor Lionel P. Robert © Ji Yeon Yang 2013 Dedication To our God, Abba Father, who is faithful to us even during those times when we are faithless. To my father, Ju-Seok Yang (양주석), who encouraged me to have a dream when I was growing up and supported my education with resources and prayers. To my mother, Hyeon-Sook Dong (동현숙), who prayed for me day and night with great love and care. To my awesome husband, Justin Charles Canniff, for unwavering love, support, and understanding. And to my baby brother Sung-Hyek Yang (양승혁) and, father-in-law, Ronald Canniff. ii Acknowledgements Throughout the doctoral program, God has shown His sovereignty, love, mercy, power, and encouragement. All the glory to the Lord! I believe that He opened the door for accomplishing this PhD for a reason – to be a light and salt in the world for His glory (not my own), to love those people around me, and to “loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke” (Isaiah 58:6). This dissertation research was not possible without all those people who supported and mentored me. First, I have been extremely blessed to work with my advisor, Professor Soo Young Rieh, throughout my doctoral studies.

  • Bringing Biotechnology to Life an Educational Resource
    FOR GRADES 7–10 VERSION 3.0 BRINGING BIOTECHNOLOGY TO LIFE AN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE Brought to you by the American Farm Bureau Foundation® for Agriculture www.agfoundation.org in partnership with the International Food Information Council Foundation www.foodinsight.org. WELCOME “Bringing Biotechnology to Life” is a resource for science educators and others interested in learning more about biotechnology and its role in food production. This unit of instruction addresses national learning standards for 7th–10th grade, yet the interest level may be much broader. Eight sequential lessons guide the learner through the process of understanding DNA, selective breeding over time and agricultural biotechnology today, including foods produced through biotechnology (often referred to by consumers as genetically modified organisms or “GMOs”). Students are also presented with tools to evaluate the reliability of information they see and hear. The unit culminates with a relevant research paper and presentation to people beyond the students’ classmates and teacher. This unit follows the principles of Project Based Learning by engaging students with a driving question, encouraging voice and choice, incorporating critique and revision and including a public audience for the final project. Table of Contents: LESSON 1 Driving Question: What is DNA? ______________________________ 1 LESSON 2 Driving Question: How can we examine DNA? __________________ 7 LESSON 3 Driving Question: What is selective breeding? __________________ 13 LESSON 4 Driving Question:

  • Plant Science Bangladesh: Improving Crops C
    Cassie He A&M Consolidated High School College Station, TX Bangladesh, Factor 1: Plant Science Bangladesh: Improving Crops Coupling With Abiotic Stresses Bangladesh, located in South Asia, is considered one of the least developed nations in the world with some of the worst health and nutrition outcome data (Bangladesh Country, Web). It is the world’s eighth- most populous country. Totaling 156.6 million citizens with an area of 147,570 km2, it is the most densely populated non-island nation in the world (Harris, Web). Out of the 156.6 million people, 37 million-a quarter of the population-struggle with food security (World Food, Web). The average household in Bangladesh consists of four-to-five people, usually with two parents and two- three children (Bangladesh, Web). Typically, families live in a small wooden shack with a tin roof referred to as “tin shade” in the slums outside of major cities. These tin shades provide little protection against the blistering heat in the summer and are easily destroyed by annual monsoon rains (World Food, Web). Despite the low unemployment rate of 4.5 percent, 43 percent of Bangladeshi live under $1.25 per day which is below the international extreme poverty line (Feed the Future, Web). Agriculture remains the most important sector of the Bangladesh economy, accounting for 19.6 percent to the national gross domestic product (GDP) and providing 63 percent of the population with employment (Bangladesh- Agriculture, Web). Although the government funds most schools, education in Bangladesh remains poorly developed. The literacy rate is 57.5 percent on average with a significant disparity between female (53 percent) and male (62 percent) (Education, Web).

They chip off tiny bits of seeds and young plants and analyze their genes in search of desirable traits. Then they use that information to decide which seeds to plant and, later, cross-pollinate and which ones to reject, speeding up the traditional plant breeding process.
