Other significantly over-represented, specific GO terms were (also) related to cuticle development, lipid metabolism, suberin biosynthetic process, responses to abiotic and biotic stimuli, cell-to-cell signaling and trichome differentiation.
Within the biological process, response to endogenous stimulus, response to biotic stimulus, cell death, response to stress, protein modification process and signal transduction were overrepresented.
and biotic (host cells and extracellular matrix in commensals and pathogens).
The analysis of biotic descriptors as cell abundance, cell length and architecture has shown a strong morphological plasticity of this diatom.
Yet to-be-elucidated factors that control SAR-dependent changes in biotic resistance and cell wall composition are pointed out.
Among enriched GO terms, several fall within a generalized biotic stress, namely "cell wall macromolecule metabolic processes", "extracellular region", "response to stress", "polysaccharide catabolic process" and "response to fungus".
The abiotic elicitation thus proved to be more deleterious than the biotic elicitation towards cell division, fresh weight accumulation, and growth index and, therefore, showed a dose-dependent growth inhibition.
There were two categories (response to biotic stress and cell wall modification) that stood out as up-regulated in both genotypes after inoculation with R. solanacearum and one (development) was clearly under-regulated, in line with the accepted notion that induction of plant defense triggers growth inhibition [ 44].
An increase in the number of circulating phagocytic white blood cells (leukocytosis), mentioned above (see Maintenance of health: Defense against biotic invasion: Phagocytic cells of the body), is one of the more common manifestations of disease.
Because a main target of the bioactive compound(s) is the adhesion of bacteria to abiotic or biotic surfaces and with cell-cell interaction as in the case of biofilm formation, the aim of this work was to evaluate which bacterial surface molecules were targeted by the bioactive compounds.
