Arabidopsis MYC2 is a basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor that works both as a
negative and positive regulator of light and multiple hormonal signaling pathways, including …

Plants are continuously challenged by pathogens, affecting most staple crops compromising
food security. They have evolved different mechanisms to counterattack pathogen infection …

Various pathogenic microorganisms (such as fungi, bacteria, viruses and nematodes) affect
plant viability and productivity. However, plants combat these pathogens by inducing their …

Elicitors are biochemicals, and the cell wall-derived elicitors from fungi can trigger defence
mechanisms in plants by increasing the phytoalexin accumulation when they encounter the …

A partly infected plant develops systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and shows heightened
resistance during subsequent infections. The infected parts generate certain mobile signals …

Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are important in plant pathogenic resistance and
comprise 17 families, including the PR4 family, with antifungal and anti-pathogenic …

Grape downy mildew caused by Plasmopara viticola is one of the most destructive diseases
of grapes. All grape cultivars are susceptible to P. viticola. However, the resistance of grape …

Plants are capable of defending themselves against pathogens. The presence of a robust
immune system renders diseases of plants as a rare event. Nevertheless, at times …

Ring rot disease, caused by the Botryosphaeria berengeriana f. sp. piricola pathogen, is a
destructive disease for apple production. To gain further understanding about the defense …
