MetabolomicsDual transcriptomic & metabolomic analysis of elicited flax sheds light on the kinetics of immune defense activation against the biotrophic pathogen Oidium lini.
Flax (Linum usitatissimum) grown under controlled conditions displayed genotype-dependent resistance to powdery mildew (Oidium lini) following COS-OGA (comprising chitosan- and pectin-derived oligomers) elicitor application. The present study reveals a two-step immune response in plant...

MetabolomicsHemocyanin negatively regulates phenoloxidase activation via phenylalanine-tyrosine metabolism to enhance immune defense in AHPND-infected Penaeus vannamei
Hemocyanins function not only as oxygen carriers in the hemolymph of arthropods and molluscs but also as an important multifunctional immune molecule. In this study, we observed a significant increase in hemocyanin expression and a decrease in PO activity in Penaeus vannamei infected with acute hepa...

MetabolomicsImmune Stimulation via Wounding Alters Chemical Profiles of Adult Tribolium castaneum
Group-living individuals experience immense risk of disease transmission and parasite infection. In social and in some non-social insects, disease control with immunomodulation arises not only via individual immune defenses, but also via infochemicals such as contact cues and (defensive) volatiles t...

MetabolomicsDiurnal Dynamics Shape Plant Defense Responses: Temporal Variations in Disease Progression and Metabolic Reprogramming in Brassica oleracea
Plants synchronize their immune responses with the circadian cycle, yet the impact of diurnal timing on disease resistance remains poorly understood in crop species. In this study, we investigated how diurnal variation modulates defense responses in Brassica oleracea against Xanthomonas campestris p...

MetabolomicsSpecific decorations of 17-hydroxygeranyllinalool diterpene glycosides solve the autotoxicity problem of chemical defense in Nicotiana attenuata
The native diploid tobacco Nicotiana attenuata produces abundant, potent anti-herbivore defense metabolites known as 17-hydroxygeranyllinalool diterpene glycosides (HGL-DTGs) whose glycosylation and malonylation biosynthetic steps are regulated by jasmonate signaling. To characterize the biosyntheti...

MetabolomicsThe gut microbiota contributes to changes in the host immune response induced by Trichinella spiralis
The gut microbiota plays an important role in parasite-host interactions and the induction of immune defense responses. Trichinella spiralis is an important zoonotic parasite that can directly or indirectly interact with the host in the gut. Changes in the gut microbiota following infection with T. ...

MetabolomicsCroquemort elicits activation of the immune deficiency pathway in ticks
The immune deficiency (IMD) pathway directs host defense in arthropods upon bacterial infection. In Pancrustacea, peptidoglycan recognition proteins sense microbial moieties and initiate nuclear factor-κB-driven immune responses. Proteins that elicit the IMD pathway in non-insect arthropods remain e...

MetabolomicsBacterial Pathogens Hijack the Innate Immune Response by Activation of the Reverse Transsulfuration Pathway

The reverse transsulfuration pathway is the major route for the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. The role of this metabolic pathway in macrophage response and function is unknown. We show that the enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase (CTH) is induced in macrophages infected with pathogenic ba...

MetabolomicsInnate Immune Training of Human Macrophages by Cathelicidin Analogs
Trained innate immunity can be induced in human macrophages by microbial ligands, but it is unknown if exposure to endogenous alarmins such as cathelicidins can have similar effects. Previously, we demonstrated sustained protection against infection by the chicken cathelicidin-2 analog DCATH-2. Thus...

MetabolomicsApolipophorin-III modulates antiviral defense in Bombyx mori: an integrated transcriptomic and lipidomic analysis of its inhibitory role against BmNPV infection.

The silkworm (Bombyx mori) is an economically important insect and a lepidopteran model organism. Controlling viral infections is crucial for the sustainable development of sericulture. Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection can cause large-scale mortality in silkworm populations. Ins...
