Powdery mildew (PM) caused by the obligate biotrophic fungal pathogen Erysiphe pisi is an
economically important disease of legumes. Legumes are rich in isoflavonoids, a class of …

In this work, we studied the resistance of 277 Medicago truncatula accessions against
powdery mildew and further characterized the defense mechanisms of resistant plants. Ten …

Resistance to powdery mildew has been studied in a number of plant species, yet the
molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Transcription factors (TFs) play a critical …

Powdery mildew is an economically important disease in a number of crop legumes;
however, little is known about resistance to the disease in these species. To gain a better …

Plant defense responses are made up of broad plant defense mechanisms that involve an
integrated signaling pathway. Powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe pisi is one of the most …

Dear Editor, Medicago truncatula is a model legume that is congeneric with alfalfa
