ApoplastP: prediction of effectors and plant proteins in the apoplast using machine learning.

The plant apoplast is integral to intercellular signalling, transport and plant-pathogen interactions. Plant pathogens deliver effectors both into the apoplast and inside host cells, but no computational method currently exists to discriminate between these localizations. We present ApoplastP, the first method for predicting whether an effector or plant protein localizes to the apoplast. ApoplastP...

Remarkable enhancement of flavonoid production in a co-cultivation system of L. hairy root cultures and immobilized .

The dried roots of L. are highly traded in the pharmaceutical industry due to their notable anti-influenza efficacy. For the first time, hairy root cultures (ITHRCs) were co-cultured with two immobilized live GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) fungi, and , for the elevated production of pharmacologically active flavonoids. Immobilized (IAN) was exhibited as the superior elicitor in the plant-...
