To understand the mechanisms underlying disease development in plants, molecular plant
pathology research has mostly focused on the characterization of direct interactions …

Current research into indirect phytopathogen–herbivore interactions (ie, interactions
mediated by the host plant) is carried out in two largely independent directions …

Fungal necrotrophic pathogens cause widespread crop losses and infect a variety of plants.
The perception of these pathogens or their associated signals by specific receptors in plants …

Induced plant defenses against either pathogens or herbivore attackers are regulated by
phytohormones. These phytohormones are increasingly recognized as important mediators …

Plants are under constant attack by a vast array of pathogens. To impede their attackers they
use both broad-spectrum and pathogen-specific defence mechanisms. The arms race …

Plant hormones play important roles in regulating developmental processes and signaling
networks involved in plant responses to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses …

Phytohormones are major signaling components that contribute to nearly all aspects of plant
life. They constitute an interconnected communication network to fine-tune growth and …

Plant immunity relies on a complex network of hormone signaling pathways in which
jasmonic acid (JA) plays a central role. Successful microbial pathogens or symbionts have …

Cytokinins are essential plant hormones that control almost every aspect of plant growth and
development. Their function in mediating plant susceptibility to fungal biotrophs and gall …

Fungi and plants are rich sources of thousands of secondary metabolites. The genetically
coded possibilities for secondary metabolite production, the stimuli of the production, and …
