Molecular characterisation of defence of Brassica napus (Oilseed rape) to Rhizoctonia solani AG2-1 confirmed by functional analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana (2023)
Journal Article
Sims, I., Jayaweera, D., Swarup, K., & Ray, R. V. (2023). Molecular characterisation of defence of Brassica napus (Oilseed rape) to Rhizoctonia solani AG2-1 confirmed by functional analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana. Phytopathology, 113(8), 1525-1536. https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-08-22-0305-R

Rhizoctonia solani is a necrotrophic, soilborne fungal pathogen associated with significant establishment losses in Brassica napus (oilseed rape; OSR). The anastomosis group (AG) 2-1 of R. solani is the most virulent to OSR, causing damping-off, root...

Infestation by Myzus persicae increases susceptibility of Brassica napus cv. “Canard” to Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1 (2018)
Journal Article
Drizou, F., Bruce, T. J. A., Ray, R. V., & Graham, N. S. (2018). Infestation by Myzus persicae increases susceptibility of Brassica napus cv. “Canard” to Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1. Frontiers in Plant Science, 9, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2018.01903

Activation of plant defense pathways can be influenced by the presence of different species of attacking organisms. Understanding the complicated interactions triggering plant defense mechanisms is of great interest as it may allow the development of...

Distinct branches of the N‐end rule pathway modulate the plant immune response (2018)
Journal Article
Vicente, J., Mendiondo, G. M., Pauwels, J., Pastor, V., Izquierdo, Y., Naumann, C., …Holdsworth, M. J. (2019). Distinct branches of the N‐end rule pathway modulate the plant immune response. New Phytologist, 221(2), 988-1000. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.15387

© 2018 The Authors. New Phytologist © 2018 New Phytologist Trust The N-end rule pathway is a highly conserved constituent of the ubiquitin proteasome system, yet little is known about its biological roles. Here we explored the role of the N-end rule... Read More about Distinct branches of the N‐end rule pathway modulate the plant immune response.

Direct and host-mediated interactions between Fusarium pathogens and herbivorous arthropods in cereals (2016)
Journal Article
Drakulic, J., Bruce, T., & Ray, R. V. (2017). Direct and host-mediated interactions between Fusarium pathogens and herbivorous arthropods in cereals. Plant Pathology, 66(1), 3-13. https://doi.org/10.1111/ppa.12546

Fusarium head blight and fusarium ear rot diseases of cereal crops are significant global problems, causing yield and grain quality losses and accumulation of harmful mycotoxins. Safety limits have been set by the European Commission for several Fusa... Read More about Direct and host-mediated interactions between Fusarium pathogens and herbivorous arthropods in cereals.
