We grew B. cookei in liquid culture and observed that the resulting culture filtrate (CF) was differentially toxic when infiltrated into leaves of a population of 288 diverse sorghum lines. In this population we found a significant correlation between high CF sensitivity and susceptibility to TLS. This suggests that the toxin produced in culture may play a role in the pathogenicity of the B. cookei in the field. We demonstrated that the toxic activity is light-sensitive and, surprisingly, is insensitive to pronase, suggesting that it is not proteinaceous. We identified the two sorghum genetic loci most associated with the response to CF in this population. Screening seedlings with B. cookei CF could be a useful approach for prescreening germplasm for TLS resistance.}, number={7}, journal={Phytopathology®}, publisher={Scientific Societies}, author={Samira, Rozalynne and Samayoa, Luis Fernando and Holland, James and Balint-Kurti, Peter John}, year={2023}, month={Jan}, pages={1301–1306} }

Such is the case for fluctuations in the availability of iron (Fe), one of the most critical micronutrients for plants. The results of these responses are physiological and morphological changes that lead to increased iron uptake from the rhizosphere, and recycling and reallocation of Fe, which must be properly localized within specific cells and cellular compartment for use. The use of reductionist approaches, in combination with in vivo and in situ Fe localization tools, has been able to shed light on critical signaling molecules, transcriptional regulators, transporters and other proteins involved in Fe homeostasis. Recent advances in elemental distribution and speciation analysis now enable detection and measurement of Fe and other elements at resolutions never seen before. Moreover, increasing use of systems biology approaches provide a substantially broader perspective of how Fe availability affects processes at many levels. This review highlights the latest in vivo and in situ iron localization approaches and some of the recent advances in understanding mechanisms that control Fe translocation. A broad perspective of how Fe localization data might one day be integrated with large-scale data to create models for Fe homeostasis is presented.}, journal={PLANT SCIENCE}, author={Samira, Rozalynne and Stallmann, Anna and Massenburg, Lynnicia N. and Long, Terri A.}, year={2013}, month={Sep}, pages={250–259} }
