These represent the immune defense systems of vertebrates, insects, monocotyledons (grasslike plants) and dicotyledons (plants like beans that have seed two leaves.)

At this point, President Obama is the last line of defense. Hes the only one who can immediately prevent GE alfalfa from being planted this year.

I like to call sort of a biological defense system Lydell Newby the Mall of America's senior manager of environmental services told local news station KARE 11.

This is a normal defence system gone astray. Histamine causes the familiar itching sneezing and running of the nose

science and technology should be Egypt's first line of defence (see Editorial, page 306). Valuable treasures did not survive the revolution unscathed;

and their first line of defense against environmental stressors is the foraging bees themselves. High concentrations of Se will not kill foragers outright so they can continue to collect contaminated pollen and nectar

In addition to this first-line of defense Zhu's team discovered that bedbugs have developed a second layer of protection.

As a first line of defense wheat breeders and researchers began looking for resistance genes among those that had already been discovered in the existing germplasm repositories he said.

because your defense system is amplified and inappropriately so. The benefit to health is explicit: Zinc is beneficial

In experiments using human monocytes--cells involved in the first line of defense against an invading pathogen--the researchers examined

An orange tree can convert this amino acid into cinnamic acid a precursor to compounds thought to be important to the tree's defense system.

But careful cleaning of equipment and quarantine is their first line of defense. Fighting invasive species--like buckthorn and gypsy moths and garlic mustard--is a big part of our work here Herrick says

Although medicine and vaccines can prevent some diseases they don't prevent them all in those cases stopping the bite in the first place is the best line of defense.

By exploiting new molecular and genetic insights the research done in collaboration with Pierre de Wit from Wageningen Agricultural University in The netherlands provides a better understanding of the defense system of crop plants against the damaging pathogens that grow in the spaces between plant cells.

Our research enhances the traditional understanding of the plant defense system and describes a new concept describing how plants protect themselves against the pathogens that grow in the space outside plant cells (the apoplast)--a new concept called effector-triggered defense or ETD.

Plant defense systems consist of interconnected tiers of receptors which are found both outside and inside the plant cells Both sets of receptors sense the invasive pathogen

Pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) is the first line of defense operating soon after the pathogen has landed on the plant surface.

The second line of defense is referred to as effector-triggered immunity (ETI) this is based on the detection of disease pathogens by the plant's genes--there is a relationship between the gene in the host plant and the gene in the pathogen.

This concept of plant ETI does not really explain the second line of defense in the interaction of plant hosts protecting themselves against extracellular fungal pathogens

Antibodies are protein molecules that are an important part of the body's immune defense system but can cause rejection of a transplanted organ.

They found that each pathogen species secretes specialised substances to shut down the defences of their target hosts'Plants have called these enzymes proteases that play a key role in their defence systems'said Dr Renier van der Hoorn co-author of the study from Oxford university
