Abstract:

The presence of microfilamentous-like structures of tubular appearance (MFS) in cell walls and extracellular sheath material (ES) in a number of isolates of Ophiostoma novo-ulmi Brasier grown on various substrates and following various treatments is reported. Standard fixation or high-pressure freezing methods were used, and cytochemical tests were carried out to detect fungal and host wall components and, in some cases, fungal DNA. In some cases, serial 0.2-μm-thick sections were examined at 120 kV and tilted to obtain stereoscopic images. Whether the fungal cell walls were thick and composed

Abstract:

ABSTRACT When the essential and distinctive cell walls of either pathogenic or nonpathogenic fungi break, cytoplasmic membranes rupture and fungi die. This fungicidal activity was discovered previously on nonproliferating Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells treated briefly with the oxidative tool and anticancer drug family of bleomycins. The present studies investigated effects of bleomycin on growing fungal organisms. These included the medically important Aspergillus fumigatus and Cryptococcus neoformans, as well as the emerging human pathogen and fungal model, S. cerevisiae. Bleomycin had its hi

Abstract:

Rhynchosporium commune is one of the most destructive pathogens of barley worldwide. It can cause crop yield losses of up to 40% in the UK and decrease in grain quality. Populations of R. commune can change rapidly, defeating new barley resistance (R) genes and fungicides after just a few seasons of their use. Fungicide use is one of the major modes of management of Rhynchosporium and is heavily relied on the agricultural industry. Fungicides that were effective in the past are no longer effective in controlling the disease and many are only effective when used in mixtures. Beyond the currentl

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kre5p is important for the biosynthesis of beta-1,6-glucan, which is required for proper cell wall assembly and architecture. A functional and cell biological analysis of Kre5p was conducted to further elucidate its role in beta-1,6-glucan synthesis. Kre5p was found to be a primarily soluble N-glycoprotein of &sim;200 kD that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. Observation of Kre5p-deficient cells reveals a severe cell wall morphological defect, and kre5Delta cells were shown to have only residual levels of beta-1,6-glucan.

Abstract:

Abstract Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is now used as a routine technique for the fast and reliable identification of fungi at the species level and, currently, it represents an important phenotypic methodology based on proteomic profiles. The main limitations to MALDI-TOF MS for fungal identification are related to sample quality (e.g. quality of biological material such as rigidity or pigmentation of cell walls), sample preparation (e.g. the myriad of sample preparation methodologies that deliver different data sets to different MALDI-TOF MS databases) and the databases themselves (e.g. the 'black-box' commercial databases). This chapter presents an overview and discussion of the use of MALDI-TOF MS for fungal identification. The major known limitations of the technique for fungal taxonomy, and how to overcome these, are also discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract Polysaccharides are universal in the plant and fungal kingdoms. Their functions include food storage, protection of membranes, and maintaining rigidity of cell walls in plants and fungi, whereas for seaweeds they help maintain the flexibility required for life in the ocean. Polysaccharides play significant roles in the activity of numerous herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine and Japanese (Kampo) medicine. Polysaccharides are insoluble in organic solvents; they precipitate in alcohol. Herbal tinctures, which are made using alcoholic solvents of 45% strength or higher, are therefore of little use for polysaccharide extraction. The degree of water solubility depends on the polysaccharide structure. Linear polymers (mucilages) are less water soluble and tend to precipitate at high temperatures and form viscous or slimy solutions. Branched polymers (gums) are more water soluble and form gels, often referred to as 'gummy' or 'sticky'. Examples of carbohydrate polymers and their sources and significance to plants and humans are shown in this chapter. Tabulated data are also given on selected medicinal mushrooms, their polysaccharides and therapeutic uses, as well as on inulin-containing species of herbs from the Asteraceae family.

Vascular residual stress has been the subject of numerous studies for more than two decades. The importance of residual stress on vascular mechanics was first recognized by Chuong and Fung [1]. They demonstrated that when circumferential residual stress was considered in the mechanical analysis, a nearly uniform stress distribution was predicted across the vessel wall. This suggested that vascular cells, despite being at different radial locations, experience the same stress environment. Residual stress is also known to exist longitudinally, and recent studies have shown that this highly effec

Common characteristics of aortic aneurysm include loss of elastin/smooth muscle cells, increase in fibrillary collagen, and increase in artery diameter [5]. Because of the high mortality rate of aneurysm rupture, it is desirable to be able to predict when a patient should have surgery to repair the dilated tissue. Current clinical practices involve predicting aneurysm rupture based on artery expansion rate and diameter. However, other parameters such as wall stiffness and peak wall stress may offer better predictions as to when an aneurysm will fail [8]. Previous studies have investigated the

In a previous BARD-supported study, three of the investigators of this research were involved in a study on biological control of postharvest diseases of citrus and deciduous fruits. Several naturally occurring, non-antibiotic producing yeast antagonists were identified. Application of some of these antagonists resulted in very high levels of biocontrol under laboratory conditions but lower efficacy in semi-commercial tests. It was felt that the lack of knowledge on the mode of action of the biocontrol agents was limiting their efficient use. The current study was aimed at narrowing this gap i

Abstract:

C. gloeosporioides attacks unripe avocado fruits in the orchard. Germinated spores produce appressoria that germinate and breach the cuticle, but the resultant subcuticular hyphae become quiescent and do not develop further until fruit is harvested and ripens. Resistance of unripe avocado to attach by C. gloeosporioides is correlated with the presence of fungitoxic concentrations of the preformed antifungal compound, 1-acetoxy-2-hydroxy-4-oxoheneicosa-12, 15 diene in the pericarp of unripe fruits. The objective of this proposal was to study the signal transduction process by which elicitors in

Abstract:

Enhancing the activity of biocontrol agents could be the most important factor in their success in controlling fruit disease and their ultimate acceptance in commercial disease management. Direct manipulation of a biocontrol agent resulting in enhancement of diseases control could be achieved by using recent advances in molecular biology techniques. The objectives of this project were to isolate genes from yeast species that were used as postharvest biocontrol agents against postharvest diseases and to determine their role in biocontrol efficacy. The emphasis was to be placed on the yeast, Can
