Abstract
Piper tuberculatum is an exotic Piper from the Amazon region that shows resistance to infection by Fusarium solani f. sp. piperis, causal agent of Fusarium disease in black pepper (Piper nigrum L.). In this work we aimed to study the interaction between P. tuberculatum and F. solani f. sp. piperis at a molecular level, using suppression subtractive hybridization to identify genes potentially related to Fusarium disease resistance. Comparative sequence analysis confirmed that clones isolated here show a high identity with genes coding for proteins that have a known role in plant defense response mechanisms, such as peroxidase, hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein and CBL-interacting protein kinase. The present study constitutes the first effort to understand the molecular basis of this plant-pathogen interaction, identifying genes which may be used in the future genetic improvement of black pepper.

Advancing the Understanding of Regulatory Mechanisms and Diseases Through Biochemistry and Structural Biology
Modern research is increasingly interested in understanding the regulatory mechanisms and diseases through various integrative approaches. Biochemistry and structural biology offer valuable atomic-level insights that help unravel the complexities of cellular regulatory mechanisms and their association with health and disease. The unique advantage of these fields is that they provide ...read more
Therapeutic Proteins and Peptides of Plant Origin
Plants are still the major repository of biologically active substances. In the last two decades, however, natural peptides and proteins of plant origin have gained increasing attention due to their pharmacological activities over a variety of human illnesses, including those mediated by infections and parasitosis and those involving different cellular ...read more
