Transcriptional reprogramming forms a major part of a plant's response to pathogen
infection. Many individual components and pathways operating during plant defense have …

The expression profiles of Botrytis‐inoculated Arabidopsis plants were studied to determine
the nature of the defense transcriptome and to identify genes involved in host responses to …

Biotic factors affect plant immune responses and plant resistance to pathogen infections.
Despite the considerable progress made over the past two decades in manipulating genes …

The genetic architecture of plant defense against microbial pathogens may be influenced by
pathogen lifestyle. While plant interactions with biotrophic pathogens are frequently …

To respond to pathogen attack, selection and associated evolution has led to the creation of
plant immune system that are a highly effective and inducible defense system. Central to this …

Signaling pathways controlling biotic and abiotic stress responses may interact
synergistically or antagonistically. To identify the similarities and differences among …

Fungal plant pathogens are major threats to food security worldwide. Sclerotinia
sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea are closely related Ascomycete plant pathogens causing …

Transcriptional re-programming is a key step of plant defense in response to pathogen
recognition. Microarray analyses combined with genetic and biochemical approaches are …

Despite the described central role of jasmonate signaling in plant defense against
necrotrophic pathogens, the existence of intraspecific variation in pathogen capacity to …

Pathogen invasion leads to fast, local-to-systemic signal transduction that initiates plant
defense responses. Despite tremendous progress in past decades, aspects of this process …
