Chitinases are present in diverse form of organisms from bacteria, fungi, insects, plants.
Plant chitinases are part of pathogenesis-related proteins. When plant (host) cells are under …

To counter pathogen invasion, plants have evolved a large number of immune receptors,
including membrane-resident pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and intracellular …

Plants rely on cell-surface-localized pattern recognition receptors to detect pathogen-or host-
derived danger signals and trigger an immune response,,,,–. Receptor-like proteins (RLPs) …

Animals and plants have NLRs (nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors) that
recognize the presence of pathogens and initiate innate immune responses. In plants, there …

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs; Meloidogyne spp.) engage in complex parasitic interactions
with many different host plants around the world, initiating elaborate feeding sites and …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are two essential plant macronutrients that can limit plant
growth by different mechanisms. We aimed to shed light on how soybean respond to low …

Nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins are a large family of intracellular
immune receptors that detect specific pathogen effector proteins secreted into plant cells …

A communication system between plant cells and their surrounding cell wall is required to
coordinate development, immunity, and the integration of environmental cues. This …

Clubroot disease is a soil-borne disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae. It occurs in
cruciferous crops exclusively, and causes serious damage to the economic value of …

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a pathogenic fungus that infects hundreds of crop species,
