Root rot diseases remain a major global threat to the productivity of agricultural crops. They
are usually caused by more than one type of pathogen and are thus often referred to as a …

Sucrose (Suc) is directly associated with plant growth and development as well as tolerance
to various stresses. Invertase (INV) enzymes played important role in sucrose metabolism by …

Class III peroxidases (PODs) are plant-specific enzymes that play significant roles in plant
