In natural conditions, plants are subjected to a combination of biotic stresses and often have
to cope with simultaneous pathogen infections. In this report, we aim to understand the …

To understand key processes governing defense mechanisms in poplar (Populus spp.)
upon infection with the rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina, we used combined …

Melampsora larici-populina is responsible for poplar leaf rust disease and causes severe
epidemics in poplar plantations in Europe. The poplar rust genome has been recently …

Poplars are extensively cultivated worldwide, and their susceptibility to the leaf rust fungus
Melampsora larici-populina leads to considerable damages in plantations. Despite a good …

The transcriptional response of hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa× P. deltoids) to poplar
leaf rust (Melampsora medusae) infection was studied using the Populus 15.5 K cDNA …

Our understanding of the molecular basis of plant-pathogen interactions is derived mostly
from studies of model annual plant species, and until recently, few addressed disease …

Melampsora larici-populina is a fungal pathogen responsible for foliar rust disease on
poplar trees, which causes damage to forest plantations worldwide, particularly in Northern …

Mechanisms required for broad-spectrum or specific host colonization of plant parasites are
poorly understood. As a perfect illustration, heteroecious rust fungi require two alternate host …

Melampsora larici-populina causes serious poplar foliar diseases called rust worldwide.
Salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) are important phytohormones that are related to …

The foliar rust caused by the basidiomycete Melampsora larici-populina is the main disease
affecting poplar plantations in Europe. The biotrophic status of rust fungi is a major limitation …
