The horticultural industry helps to enrich and improve the human diet while contributing to
growth of the agricultural economy. However, fungal diseases of horticultural crops …

Plants are under continuous threat of infection by pathogens endowed with diverse
strategies to colonize their host. Comprehensive biochemical and genetic approaches are …

Plants are engaged in a continuous co-evolutionary struggle for dominance with their
pathogens. The outcomes of these interactions are of particular importance to human …

Plants possess constitutive defense system, involving physical and chemical factors present
in plants prior to the pathogen attack, as well as inducible defense systems which restricts …

Plant transcription factors (TFs) play roles in diverse biological processes including defense
responses to pathogens. Here, we provide an overview of recent studies of plant TFs with …

Plants have developed a complex defense system against diverse pests and pathogens.
Once pathogens overcome mechanical barriers to infection, plant receptors initiate signaling …

There is an array of pathogenic fungi in the natural environment of plants, which produce
some molecules including pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and effectors …

Plants have an innate immunity system to defend themselves against pathogens. With the
primary immune system, plants recognize microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) …

Plants are invaded by an array of pathogens of which only a few succeed in causing
disease. The attack by others is countered by a sophisticated immune system possessed by …

Plant diseases are a constant and serious threat to agriculture and ecological biodiversity.
Plants possess a sophisticated innate immunity system capable of detecting and responding …
