R gene, the Glossary

Resistance genes (R-Genes) are genes in plant genomes that convey plant disease resistance against pathogens by producing R proteins.^[1]

Plant genes

Adenosine triphosphate

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide that provides energy to drive and support many processes in living cells, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis.

See R gene and Adenosine triphosphate

Annual Reviews (publisher)

Annual Reviews is an independent, non-profit academic publishing company based in San Mateo, California.

See R gene and Annual Reviews (publisher)

Cell Press

Cell Press is an all-science publisher of over 50 scientific journals across the life, physical, earth, and health sciences, both independently and in partnership with scientific societies.

See R gene and Cell Press

Enzyme

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions.

See R gene and Enzyme

Gene

In biology, the word gene has two meanings.

See R gene and Gene

Gene delivery

Gene delivery is the process of introducing foreign genetic material, such as DNA or RNA, into host cells.

See R gene and Gene delivery

Gene-for-gene relationship

The gene-for-gene relationship is a concept in plant pathology that plants and their diseases each have single genes that interact with each other during an infection.

See R gene and Gene-for-gene relationship

Genetic sequencing

Genetic Sequencing may refer to.

See R gene and Genetic sequencing

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all the genetic information of an organism.

See R gene and Genome

Guanosine triphosphate

Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) is a purine nucleoside triphosphate.

See R gene and Guanosine triphosphate

Leucine-rich repeat

A leucine-rich repeat (LRR) is a protein structural motif that forms an α/β horseshoe fold.

See R gene and Leucine-rich repeat

Molecular cloning

Molecular cloning is a set of experimental methods in molecular biology that are used to assemble recombinant DNA molecules and to direct their replication within host organisms.

See R gene and Molecular cloning

PADI4

Protein-arginine deiminase type-4, is a human protein which in humans is encoded by the PADI4 gene.

See R gene and PADI4

Pathogen

In biology, a pathogen (πάθος, "suffering", "passion" and -γενής, "producer of"), in the oldest and broadest sense, is any organism or agent that can produce disease.

See R gene and Pathogen

Pathogen-associated molecular pattern

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are small molecular motifs conserved within a class of microbes, but not present in the host.

See R gene and Pathogen-associated molecular pattern

Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are proteins produced in plants in the event of a pathogen attack.

See R gene and Pathogenesis-related protein

Pathosystem

A pathosystem is a subsystem of an ecosystem and is defined by the phenomenon of parasitism.

See R gene and Pathosystem

Pattern recognition receptor

Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) play a crucial role in the proper function of the innate immune system.

See R gene and Pattern recognition receptor

Plant

Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdom Plantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic.

See R gene and Plant

Plant breeding

Plant breeding is the science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics.

See R gene and Plant breeding

Plant disease resistance

Plant disease resistance protects plants from pathogens in two ways: by pre-formed structures and chemicals, and by infection-induced responses of the immune system.

See R gene and Plant disease resistance

Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together.

See R gene and Selective breeding
