Understanding the plant immune system is crucial for using genetics to protect crops from
diseases. Plants resist pathogens via a two-tiered innate immune detection-and-response …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential plant defense hormone that promotes immunity against
biotrophic and semibiotrophic pathogens. It plays crucial roles in basal defense and the …

Calcium ions function as a key second messenger ion in eukaryotes. Spatially and
temporally defined cytoplasmic Ca2+ signals are shaped through the concerted activity of …

Plants deploy receptor-like kinases and nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors to
confer host plant resistance (HPR) to herbivores. These gene-for-gene interactions between …

Bacteria use a wide range of immune pathways to counter phage infection. A subset of these
genes shares homology with components of eukaryotic immune systems, suggesting that …

The wild relatives and progenitors of wheat have been widely used as sources of disease
resistance (R) genes. Molecular identification and characterization of these R genes …

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

The plant immune system protects against pests and diseases. The recognition of stress‐
related molecular patterns triggers localised immune responses, which are often followed by …
