Project description:Rhizoctonia solani AG3-TB is a destructive soil-borne necrotrophic fungus that causes tobacco target spot disease. WRKY70 serves as a critical regulatory hub integrating salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathways to modulate defense responses. Previous studies have revealed that NtWRKY70 is significantly upregulated following R. solani AG3-TB infection, but its critical role in the resistance mechanism remains unclear.
Project description:Members of the genus Acinetobacter drag attention due to their importance in microbial pathology and biotechnology. OmpA is a porin with multifaceted functions in different species of Acinetobacter. In this study we identified this protein in Acinetobacter sp. SA01, an efficient phenol degrader strain, in different cellular and sub-cellular compartments (such as OM, OMV, biofilm and extracellular environment). Differential expression of proteins, including OmpA, under two conditions of phenol and ethanol supplementation was assessed using shotgun proteomics.
