The number of outbreaks and illness linked to the consumption of contaminated salad leaves have increased dramatically in the last decade. Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica are the most common food-borne pathogens linked to consumption of fresh produce. Different serovars of S. enterica
The azido derivatives of alcohols (3-azido-1,2-propandiol and 1,3-diazido-2-propanol) and monosaccharides (6-azido-6-deoxy-beta-D-glucose and 6-azido-6-deoxy-beta-D-galactose), as well as the proximal mutagenic product of sodium azide metabolism beta-azido-L-alanine, exhibited a high mutagenic
Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium contaminated vegetables and fruits are considerable sources of human infections. Bacteria present in raw plant-derived nutrients cause salmonellosis, the world wide most spread food poisoning. This facultative endopathogen enters and replicates in host cells
Enteric pathogens, such as Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli O157:H7, have been shown to contaminate fresh produce. Under appropriate conditions, these bacteria will grow on and invade the plant tissue. We have developed Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) as a model system with the intention
Infections with Salmonella enterica belong to the most prominent causes of food poisoning and infected fruits and vegetables represent important vectors for salmonellosis. Recent evidence indicates that plants recognize S. enterica and raise defense responses. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms
Salmonella is an established pathogen of the members of the kingdom Animalia. Reports indicate that the association of Salmonella with fresh, edible plant products occurs at the pre-harvest state, i.e. in the field. In this study, we follow the interaction of Salmonella Typhimurium with the model
Chickens were immunized with the lipid emulsion system and Salmonella typhimurium mitogen adjuvant for fowl plus synthetic peptides corresponding to the divergent amino acid sequences at the carboxyl terminus of each of two different alpha-tubulin isoforms from Arabidopsis thaliana. Antibodies were
Salmonella virulence in animals depends on effectors injected by Type III Secretion Systems (T3SSs). In this report we demonstrate that Salmonella mutants that are unable to deliver effectors are also compromised in infection of Arabidopsis thaliana plants. Transcriptome analysis revealed that in
Naturally selected nickel (Ni) tolerance in Alyssum lesbiacum has been proposed to involve constitutively high levels of endogenous free histidine. Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana expressing a Salmonella typhimurium ATP phosphoribosyl transferase enzyme (StHisG) resistant to feedback inhibition by
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Bacillus subtilis UD1022 has been shown to trigger an induced systemic response in Arabidopsis thaliana. This interaction causes plant stomata to close, protecting the plant from infection by plant pathogens and thereby increasing crop yield. The purpose of this
Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are triggers of defence responses in plants, and induce local as well as systemic acquired resistance. Arabidopsis thaliana plants pretreated with LPS show an increased resistance to the virulent bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000. To
Consumption of fresh produce contaminated with bacterial human pathogens has resulted in various, sometimes deadly, disease outbreaks. In this study, we assessed plant defense responses induced by the fully pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
BACKGROUND
In Arabidopsis thaliana, ethylene perception and signal transduction into the cell are carried out by a family of membrane-bound receptors, one of which is ethylene resistant 1 (ETR1). The large cytoplasmic domain of the receptor showed significant sequence homology to the proteins of a
The pantothenate (vitamin B5) synthesis pathway in plants is not fully defined because the subcellular site of its ketopantoate → pantoate reduction step is unclear. However, the pathway is known to be split between cytosol, mitochondria, and potentially plastids, and inferred to involve
A mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae deleted for the COQ3 gene was constructed. COQ3 encodes a 3,4-dihydroxy-5-hexaprenylbenzoate (DHHB) methyltransferase that catalyses the fourth step in the biosynthesis of ubiquinone from p-hydroxybenzoic acid. A full length cDNA encoding a homologue of
