“…In agriculture, RIPs have been shown to increase resistance against viruses, fungi and insects in transgenic plants. The studies collected in this book provide the reader with an overview of the most current and interesting lines of research in the field of RIPs and their applications in medicine and agriculture. …”

“…Organisms to be considered may range from model microbes such as E. coli and S. cerevisiae, to acidophilic or pathogenic bacteria, fungi and parasites. Papers describing the use of the gathered knowledge for biotechnological applications or antimicrobial strategies are also welcome…”

“…All production organisms—fungi, yeasts, bacteria—are welcome…”

“…Since the partners frequently belong to different kingdoms, e.g. bacteria, fungi, protists and viruses living in association with animal and plant hosts, their shared “language” should be a basic and ancient form of communication able to effectively blur the boundaries between extremely different living entities. …”

“…Obtaining the detailed descriptions of distinct ion channels and transporters present in halophytes, marine algae and salt-tolerant fungi and then progressing to the cellular and the whole organism mechanisms, is one of the logical ways to understand high salinity tolerance. …”

“…., plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, CAs are involved in photosynthesis, whereas in many parasites (fungi, protozoa), they are involved in the de novo synthesis of important metabolites (lipids, nucleic acids, etc.). …”

“…This volume describes a range of methodologies including mechanistic studies, phylogenetic comparisons and data-based theoretical approaches to study telomere evolution over a broad spectrum of organisms that includes plants, animals and fungi. In telomeres that are elongated by telomerases, different components have widely different rates of evolution. …”

“…Together with the complete sequencing of plant genomes, the genome sequences of plant pathogens as well as that of some beneficial organisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses), and the furnished information on their virulence, gave support to relatively new strategies such as transcriptome, proteome, metabolome and secretome analysis. …”

“…The glycobiology of D-Galf is a topic of great interest since its presence is restricted to glycoconjugates of bacteria, protozoa and fungi, many of them patogenic, whereas in mammals is found only in the pyranose form. …”
