| Abstract | Suspension-cultured cells of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) reacted to spores and spore exudates of the pathogen Cladosporium fulvum with a rapid, transient alkalinization of their growth medium that resembled the previously described alkalinization response elicited by chitin fragments (G. Felix, M. Regenass, T. Boller [1993] Plant J 4: 307-316) and was likewise inhibited by the protein kinase inhibitor K-252a. However, the spore factor recognized by the cells differed from chitin fragments in that it was butanol soluble and active in cells refractory to stimulation by chitin fragments. The spore factor was purified and identified as ergosterol, the main sterol of most higher fungi. With pure ergosterol, half-maximal induction was reached at about 10 pm. After treatment with ergosterol, tomato cells became refractory to a subsequent stimulation by C. fulvum and vice versa, indicating that ergosterol was the principal component of the spores recognized by the plant cells. Most other sterols were inactive, including cholesterol, a range of animal steroid hormones, and all natural plant sterols tested, except for stigmasterol, which was about 106 times less active than ergosterol. Our data demonstrate that tomato cells perceive ergosterol with a selectivity and sensitivity that resembles the perception of steroid hormones in animals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
