This review emphasizes the biotechnological potential of molecules implicated in the
different layers of plant immunity, including, pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) …

Background Crops are constantly attacked by various pathogens. These pathogenic
microorganisms, such as fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes, threaten …

Plant–pathogen interactions induce a signal transmission series that stimulates the plant's
host defense system against pathogens and this, in turn, leads to disease resistance …

Infestations of crop plants with pathogens pose a major threat to global food supply.
Exploiting plant defense mechanisms to produce disease-resistant crop varieties is an …

An increasing demand for environmentally acceptable alternative for traditional pesticides
provides an impetus to conceive new bio-based strategies in crop protection. Employing …

Plant diseases are still the main problem for the reduction in crop yield and a threat to global
food security. Additionally, excessive usage of chemical inputs such as pesticides and …

Phytopathogens, such as biotrophs, hemibiotrophs and necrotrophs, pose serious stress on
the development of their host plants, compromising their yields. Plants are in constant …

Induced resistance (IR), which enables plants to increase their resilience against insect
pests and microbial pathogens by promoting their own immunity, has been recognized for its …

Saving the world's food supply constitutes one of the major challenges of the future. As a
complement to classical and molecular breeding technologies, novel strategies for …

Plants have evolved a highly sophisticated immune system to resist pathogen attack
comprising both preformed and inducible mechanisms. Over the last 50 years, various …
