- Intervention effect Infection with Blumeria graminis resulted in localised betalain accumulation at infection sites in transgenic wheat.
- Intervention effect Infection with Blumeria graminis increased RUBY transcript accumulation in transgenic wheat.
- Intervention effect Infection with Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) resulted in localised betalain accumulation at infection sites in transgenic wheat.
- Intervention effect Infection with Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) increased RUBY transcript accumulation in transgenic wheat.
- Intervention effect Infection with P. triticina (Pt) resulted in localised betalain accumulation at infection sites in transgenic wheat.
- Intervention effect Infection with P. triticina (Pt) increased RUBY transcript accumulation in transgenic wheat.
- Intervention effect Infection with P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) caused no detectable RUBY transcript accumulation in transgenic wheat.
- Intervention effect Infection with P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) caused no visible betalain accumulation at infection sites in transgenic wheat.
- Intervention effect Infection with P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) caused a modest betalain increase in infected tissue extracts of transgenic wheat.
- Intervention effect Compared with Pst, Pgt more strongly induced host genes involved in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory processes in wheat.
- Observation No obvious pathogen-induced changes in ZmUbi promoter methylation were observed in transgenic wheat.
- Intervention effect Pathogen challenge of ZmUbi-GUS wheat induced localised GUS staining at infection sites by Pgt.
- Intervention effect Pathogen challenge of ZmUbi-GUS wheat induced localised GUS staining at infection sites by Pt.
- Observation The endogenous maize polyubiquitin gene from which ZmUbi is derived is pathogen inducible, in a species-specific fashion.
