A new chitinase-like xylanase inhibitor protein (XIP) from coffee (Coffea arabica) affects Soybean Asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) spore germination (2011)
Journal Article
Vasconcelos, E., Santana, C., Godoy, C., Seixas, C., Silva, M., Moreira, L., …Grossi-de-Sa, M. (2011). A new chitinase-like xylanase inhibitor protein (XIP) from coffee (Coffea arabica) affects Soybean Asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) spore germination. BMC Biotechnology, 11, Article 14. https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6750-11-14

Background: Asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) is a common disease in Brazilian soybean fields and it is difficult to control. To identify a biochemical candidate with potential to combat this disease, a new chitinase-like xylanase inhibitor protein...

Journal Article
Fang, Q., Wang, F., Gatehouse, J., Gatehouse, A., Chen, X., Hu, C., & Ye, G. (2011). Venom of Parasitoid, Pteromalus puparum, Suppresses Host, Pieris rapae, Immune Promotion by Decreasing Host C-Type Lectin Gene Expression. PLoS ONE, 6(10), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0026888

Background: Insect hosts have evolved immunity against invasion by parasitoids, and in co-evolutionary response parasitoids have also developed strategies to overcome host immune systems. The mechanisms through which parasitoid venoms disrupt the pro...
