Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands (Pc) is a hemibiotrophic oomycete and the causal agent of
Phytophthora root rot (PRR) of the commercially important fruit crop avocado (Persea …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different concentrations of methyl
salicylate (MeSA) on direct defense and indirect defense in poplar cuttings (Populus× …

As part of an ongoing effort to identify genes involved in poplar defense responses, and to
provide a resource for comparative analysis of woody and non-woody plant defense, we …

Every year, millions of tons of fruits, vegetables, and grains are lost to the global market
because of spoilage caused by pathogens such as peach mold and wheat smut.“Produce …

Septoria musiva is a major pathogen of Populus and can cause leaf spots and stem cankers
in susceptible clones. In order to investigate defense mechanisms of Populus in response to …

The first layer of active defense in plants is based on the perception of pathogen-associated
molecular patterns (PAMPs) leading to PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI). PTI is increasingly …

Cerato‐platanin proteins (CP s), which are secreted by filamentous fungi, are phytotoxic to
host plants, but their functions have not been well defined to date. Here we characterized a …

Sulfated laminarin (PS3) has been shown previously to be an elicitor of plant defense
reactions in tobacco and Arabidopsis and to induce protection against tobacco mosaic virus …

A plant's defense against pathogens involves an extensive set of phytohormone regulated
defense signaling pathways. The salicylic acid (SA)-signaling pathway is one of the most …

Although there are thousands of plant pathogens, individual plant species are infected by
only a small percentage of the pathogens that exist in nature. This suggests that plants are …
