Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and beta-glucan from Francisella victoria, a fish pathogen and close relative of highly virulent mammal pathogen Francisella tularensis, have been analyzed using chemical and spectroscopy methods. The polysaccharide part of the LPS was found to contain a nonrepetitive

DL-beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA) is a non-protein amino acid that is an effective inducer of resistance against a variety of plant pathogens. However, examples of BABA-induced resistance against insect herbivores have not been reported. We applied BABA as a soil drench
DL-beta-amino-butyric acid (BABA) has been found to protect potato plants against late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans. This paper compares gene expression profiles of a potato clone harboring horizontal resistance to P. infestans in response to BABA and the pathogen
Inducing systemic resistance responses in crop plants is a promising alternative way of disease management. To understand the underlying signaling events leading to induced resistance, functional analyses of plants defective in defined signaling pathway steps are required. We used potato
The effects of beta-aminobutiric acid as an inductor of plant resistance was studied. The influence of BABA pretreatment on A. cepa plants of three different pathogen-resistant varieties was investigated by fluorescence microscopic methods. It was determined that BABA is able
