New Insight into the History of Domesticated Apple: Secondary Contribution of the European Wild Apple to the Genome of Cultivated Varieties

Amandine Cornille, Pierre Gladieux, +11 authors Tatiana Giraud
PLoS genetics
2012

The apple is the most common and culturally important fruit crop of temperate areas. The elucidation of its origin and domestication history is therefore of great interest. The wild Central Asian… (More)

On the Origin and Spread of the Scab Disease of Apple: Out of Central Asia

Pierre Gladieux, Xiu-guo Zhang, Damien Afoufa-Bastien, Rosa-Maria Valdebenito Sanhueza, Mohamed Sbaghi, Bruno Le Cam
PloS one
2008

BACKGROUND Venturia inaequalis is an ascomycete fungus responsible for apple scab, a disease that has invaded almost all apple growing regions worldwide, with the corresponding adverse effects on… (More)

Cloning and functional analysis of three genes encoding polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins from Capsicum annuum and transgenic CaPGIP1 in tobacco in relation to increased resistance to two fungal…

Plant Molecular Biology
2013

Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) are plant cell wall glycoproteins that can inhibit fungal endopolygalacturonases (PGs). The PGIPs directly reduce the aggressive potential of PGs. Here,… (More)

Eicosapentaenoic acid improves hepatic steatosis independent of PPARα activation through inhibition of SREBP-1 maturation in mice.

Naoki Tanaka, Xiu-guo Zhang, +7 authors Toshifumi Aoyama
Biochemical pharmacology
2010

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in fish oil is known to improve hepatic steatosis. However, it remains unclear whether such action of EPA is actually caused by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor… (More)

Sinomyces: a new genus of anamorphic Pleosporaceae.

Yong Wang, Yun Geng, Jian Ma, Qi Wang, Xiu-guo Zhang
Fungal biology
2011

Sinomyces gen. nov. is described for Ulocladium alternariae and two new species from China. These three species differ from Ulocladium in producing simple conidiophores with a single, cicatrized… (More)

Evolution of the population structure of Venturia inaequalis, the apple scab fungus, associated with the domestication of its host.

Pierre Gladieux, Xiu-guo Zhang, +6 authors Bruno Le Cam
Molecular ecology
2010

Evaluating the impact of plant domestication on the population structure of the associated pathogens provides an opportunity to increase our understanding of how and why diseases emerge. Here, we… (More)

Characterization of necrosis-inducing NLP proteins in Phytophthora capsici

B Z Feng, Xiao-ping Zhu, +4 authors Xiu-guo Zhang
BMC Plant Biology
2013

Effector proteins function not only as toxins to induce plant cell death, but also enable pathogens to suppress or evade plant defense responses. NLP-like proteins are considered to be effector… (More)

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha-independent peroxisome proliferation.

Xiu-guo Zhang, Naoki Tanaka, Takero Nakajima, Yuji Kamijo, Frank J. Gonzalez, Toshifumi Aoyama
Biochemical and biophysical research…
2006

Hepatic peroxisome proliferation, increases in the numerical and volume density of peroxisomes, is believed to be closely related to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha)… (More)

Molecular and morphological description of two new species of Stemphylium from China and France.

Yong Wang, Yun Geng, Yun-Fei Pei, Xiu-guo Zhang
Mycologia
2010

Two new species of Stemphylium (anamorphic Pleospora) are described on the basis of morphological characters and molecular phylogenetic analyses. Stemphylium phaseolina and S. variabilis were… (More)

Isolation of nine Phytophthora capsici pectin methylesterase genes which are differentially expressed in various plant species.

Peiqian Li, Baozhen Feng, Hemei Wang, Paul W. Tooley, Xiu-guo Zhang
Journal of basic microbiology
2011

Phytophthora capsici causes damage on many plants species, and secretes various pectin methylesterases during all stages of infection. We identified nine Pme genes (Pcpme 1-9) from a genomic library… (More)
