Wheat is a widely grown food crop that suffers major yield losses due to attack by pests and
pathogens. A better understanding of biotic stress responses in wheat is thus of major …

Mildew and rust are the most devastating cereal pathogens, and in wheat they can cause up
to 50% yield loss every year. Wheat lines containing resistance genes are used to effectively …

Field‐grown crops rarely experience growth conditions in which yield can be maximized.
Environmental stresses occur in combination, with advancements in crop tolerance further …

Isoflavones are a group of phenolic compounds mostly restricted to plants of the legume
family, where they mediate important interactions with plant-associated microbes, including …

Rapid global warming directly impacts agricultural productivity and poses a major challenge
to the present-day agriculture. Recent climate change models predict severe losses in crop …

Plants contain a sophisticated innate immune network to prevent pathogenic microbes from
gaining access to nutrients and from colonizing internal structures. The first layer of inducible …

To defend themselves against invading pathogens plants utilize a complex regulatory
network that coordinates extensive transcriptional and metabolic reprogramming. Although …

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 …

Plants are engaged in a continuous co-evolutionary struggle for dominance with their
pathogens. The outcomes of these interactions are of particular importance to human …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an allopolyploid species containing three ancestral
genomes. Therefore, three homoeologous copies exist for the majority of genes in the wheat …
