B otrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen causing disease in many plant species,
leading to economically important crop losses. So far, fungicides have been widely used to …

Plant cell walls are important barriers against microbial pathogens. Cell walls of Arabidopsis
thaliana leaves contain three major types of polysaccharides: cellulose, various …

Phytopathogenic microorganisms have a significant influence on survival and productivity of
several crop plants. Transcription factors (TFs) are important players in the response to biotic …

Plant defense against pests and pathogens is known to be conferred by either salicylic acid
(SA) or jasmonic acid (JA)/ethylene (ET) pathways, depending on infection or herbivore …

A model is presented describing the gene regulatory network surrounding three similar NAC
transcription factors that have roles in Arabidopsis leaf senescence and stress responses …

Natamycin (also known as pimaricin) has been widely used as an antimycotic agent in food
industry. In this study, we showed that natamycin application had a high inhibitory effect on …

Plasma membrane-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as FLAGELLIN
SENSING2 (FLS2), EF-TU RECEPTOR (EFR), and CHITIN ELICITOR RECEPTOR KINASE1 …

In nature, plants are exposed to a fluctuating environment, and individuals exposed to
contrasting environmental factors develop different environmental histories. Whether …

Within the last decade, NAC transcription factors have been shown to play essential roles in
senescence, which is the focus of this review. Transcriptome analyses associate …

Plant transcription factors (TFs) play roles in diverse biological processes including defense
responses to pathogens. Here, we provide an overview of recent studies of plant TFs with …
