Plant pathogenic Verticillium species cause vascular infections in many dicot species and
show a complex interaction with their hosts. The soil-borne fungi start infections on roots …

Host tolerance to plant pathogens was first recognized over a century ago and tolerant
interactions involving Verticillium spp. have been studied almost as long. Historically the …

Tolerance to Verticillium spp. is a condition in which a host plant develops few symptoms
despite substantial colonization by the pathogen. In the present paper we have shown that …

Verticillium wilt is caused mainly by Verticillium dahliae Kleb. and is a constraint for growers
of many economic crops and ornamental plant species. Disease control necessitates the …

As primary producers of organic material, plants provide an attractive habitat for
microorganisms. However, plants are not merely a substrate for microorganism growth. They …

Endophytes, bacterial, fungal or viral, colonize plants often without causing visible
symptoms. More important, they may benefit host plants in many ways, most notably by …

Background Verticillium spp. are major pathogens of dicotyledonous plants such as cotton,
tomato, olive or oilseed rape. Verticillium symptoms are often ambiguous and influenced by …

Soilborne plant pathogenic species in the fungal genus Verticillium cause destructive
Verticillium wilt disease on economically important crops worldwide. Since R gene-mediated …

Although the hypersensitive reaction in foliar plant diseases has been extensively
described, little is clear regarding plant defense strategies in vascular wilt diseases affecting …

The availability of genomic sequences of several Verticillium species triggered an explosion
of genome-scale investigations of mechanisms fundamental to the Verticillium life cycle and …
