Arginine
Arginine is the amino acid with the formula (H2N)(HN)CN(H)(CH2)3CH(NH2)CO2H.
Aspartic acid
Aspartic acid (symbol Asp or D; the ionic form is known as aspartate), is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.
See Appressorium and Aspartic acid
BoPET
BoPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength, chemical stability, dimensional stability, transparency, reflectivity when metallized, gas and moisture barrier properties, and electrical insulation.
Cellular differentiation
Cellular differentiation is the process in which a stem cell changes from one type to a differentiated one.
See Appressorium and Cellular differentiation
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is a fungus which causes anthracnose, or black spot disease, of the common bean plant (Phaseolus vulgaris).
See Appressorium and Colletotrichum lindemuthianum
Cutin
Cutin is one of two waxy polymers that are the main components of the plant cuticle, which covers all aerial surfaces of plants, the other being cutan.
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP, cyclic AMP, or 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is a second messenger, or cellular signal occurring within cells, that is important in many biological processes.
See Appressorium and Cyclic adenosine monophosphate
Epidermis (botany)
The epidermis (from the Greek ἐπιδερμίς, meaning "over-skin") is a single layer of cells that covers the leaves, flowers, roots and stems of plants.
See Appressorium and Epidermis (botany)
Ethylene
Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is a hydrocarbon which has the formula or.
Fatty acid
In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with an aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated.
See Appressorium and Fatty acid
Germ tube
A germ tube is an outgrowth produced by spores of spore-releasing fungi during germination. Appressorium and germ tube are fungal morphology and anatomy.
See Appressorium and Germ tube
Germination
Germination is the process by which an organism grows from a seed or spore.
See Appressorium and Germination
Glucosidases
Glucosidases are the glycoside hydrolase enzymes categorized under the EC number 3.2.1.
See Appressorium and Glucosidases
Glycine
Glycine (symbol Gly or G) is an amino acid that has a single hydrogen atom as its side chain.
Glycoprotein
Glycoproteins are proteins which contain oligosaccharide (sugar) chains covalently attached to amino acid side-chains.
See Appressorium and Glycoprotein
Host (biology)
In biology and medicine, a host is a larger organism that harbours a smaller organism; whether a parasitic, a mutualistic, or a commensalist guest (symbiont).
See Appressorium and Host (biology)
Hyaloperonospora parasitica
Hyaloperonospora parasitica is an oomycete from the family Peronosporaceae.
See Appressorium and Hyaloperonospora parasitica
Hydrolase
In biochemistry, hydrolases constitute a class of enzymes that commonly function as biochemical catalysts that use water to break a chemical bond: This typically results in dividing a larger molecule into smaller molecules.
See Appressorium and Hydrolase
Hydrophobe
In chemistry, hydrophobicity is the physical property of a molecule that is seemingly repelled from a mass of water (known as a hydrophobe).
See Appressorium and Hydrophobe
Hypha
A hypha (hyphae) is a long, branching, filamentous structure of a fungus, oomycete, or actinobacterium. Appressorium and hypha are fungal morphology and anatomy.
Mannosidase
Mannosidase is an enzyme which hydrolyses mannose.
See Appressorium and Mannosidase
Melanin
Melanin is a family of biomolecules organized as oligomers or polymers, which among other functions provide the pigments of many organisms.
Monomer
A monomer (mono-, "one" + -mer, "part") is a molecule that can react together with other monomer molecules to form a larger polymer chain or three-dimensional network in a process called polymerization.
Mucilage
Mucilage is a thick gluey substance produced by nearly all plants and some microorganisms.
Mycologia
Mycologia is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes papers on all aspects of the fungi, including lichens.
See Appressorium and Mycologia
Palmitic acid
Palmitic acid (hexadecanoic acid in IUPAC nomenclature) is a fatty acid with a 16-carbon chain.
See Appressorium and Palmitic acid
Plant cuticle
A plant cuticle is a protecting film covering the outermost skin layer (epidermis) of leaves, young shoots and other aerial plant organs (aerial here meaning all plant parts not embedded in soil or other substrate) that have no periderm.
See Appressorium and Plant cuticle
Plant disease
Plant diseases are diseases in plants caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors).
See Appressorium and Plant disease
Protease
A protease (also called a peptidase, proteinase, or proteolytic enzyme) is an enzyme that catalyzes proteolysis, breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and spurring the formation of new protein products.
Ripening
Ripening is a process in fruits that causes them to become more palatable.
Rust (fungus)
Rusts are fungal plant pathogens of the order Pucciniales (previously known as Uredinales) causing plant fungal diseases.
See Appressorium and Rust (fungus)
Septum
In biology, a septum (Latin for something that encloses;: septa) is a wall, dividing a cavity or structure into smaller ones.
Spore
In biology, a spore is a unit of sexual (in fungi) or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavourable conditions. Appressorium and spore are fungal morphology and anatomy.
Stoma
In botany, a stoma (stomata, from Greek στόμα, "mouth"), also called a stomate (stomates), is a pore found in the epidermis of leaves, stems, and other organs, that controls the rate of gas exchange between the internal air spaces of the leaf and the atmosphere.
Tripeptide
A tripeptide is a peptide derived from three amino acids joined by two or sometimes three peptide bonds.
See Appressorium and Tripeptide
Turgor pressure
Turgor pressure is the force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall.
See Appressorium and Turgor pressure
