Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), microbe-associated molecular patterns
(MAMPs), herbivore-associated molecular patterns (HAMPs), and damage-associated …

Plants contain a sophisticated innate immune network to prevent pathogenic microbes from
gaining access to nutrients and from colonizing internal structures. The first layer of inducible …

The relative resistance of a plant to pathogens is determined by preformed, constitutive
defenses, and the quality and diversity of the induced defenses deployed upon attack …

Covering: up to April 2012 In plants, successful defense relies on fast and specific response
to biotic attack. In plant–microbial and plant–plant interactions several elicitors, effectors and …

The molecular basis of plant immunity triggered by microbial pathogens is being well-
characterized as a complex sequential process leading to the activation of defense …

Plants are sessile organisms that are under constant attack from microbes. They rely on both
preformed defenses, and their innate immune system to ward of the microbial pathogens …

Highly sensitive and specific recognition systems for microbial pathogens are essential for
disease resistance in plants. Structurally diverse elicitors from various pathogens have been …

Plants are major targets of microbes seeking a source of nutrition. A complex array of
interactions between plants and microbes has evolved that reflects both the nutrient …

Recent findings have highlighted remarkable similarities in the innate pathogen defense
systems of plants, animals and insects. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) …

Recognition of and defence against microbial infections are universal adaptations of
multicellular organisms. Plants express a sophisticated molecular system for recognition of …
