Phytopathogenic fungi need to secrete different hydrolytic enzymes to break down complex
polysaccharides in the plant cell wall in order to enter the host and develop the disease …

During host colonization, plant-associated microbes, including fungi and oomycetes, deliver
a collection of glycoside hydrolases (GHs) to their cell surfaces and surrounding …

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

The apoplast is a continuous plant compartment that connects cells between tissues and
organs and is one of the first sites of interaction between plants and microbes. The plant cell …

There is an array of pathogenic fungi in the natural environment of plants, which produce
some molecules including pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and effectors …

Plant cell walls are complex structures that are modified throughout development. They are
a major contributor to the properties of plant structure and act as barriers against pathogens …

Fusarium oxysporum is an important soilborne fungal pathogen with many different formae
speciales that can colonize the plant vascular system and cause serious crop wilt disease …

Most organisms adjust their development according to the environmental conditions. For the
majority, this implies the sensing of alterations to cell walls caused by different cues. Despite …

Cell wall degrading enzymes, including pectate lyases (PeLs), released by plant pathogens,
break down protective barriers and/or activate host immunity. The direct interactions …

Verticillium dahliae is a notorious soil‐borne pathogen that enters hosts through the roots
