Plant diseases caused by pathogens result in a marked decrease in crop yield and quality
annually, greatly threatening food production and security worldwide. The creation and …

Glycolate oxidase (GOX)-dependent production of H2O2 in response to pathogens and its
function in disease resistance are still poorly understood. In this study, we performed …

In maize, eat rot and stalk rot caused by Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium graminearum
lead to contamination of moldy grains to produce mycotoxins. Identification of resistance …

Resistance in plants against pathogen infection is defined as a spectrum of reduced
susceptibility, ranging from moderate susceptibility to a hypersensitive response (complete …
