Recognition of pathogen-derived molecules by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is a
common feature of both animal and plant innate immune systems. In plants, PRR signalling …

The interaction of plants with complex microbial communities is the result of co‐evolution
over millions of years and contributed to plant transition and adaptation to land. The ability of …

Plant genetic transformation heavily relies on the bacterial pathogen Agrobacterium
tumefaciens as a powerful tool to deliver genes of interest into a host plant. Inside the plant …

Medicinal plants have been used from the beginning of human civilization, which is mostly
evident from the ancient script and traditional herbal medicine recipe. Despite the historically …

Agrobacterium strains transfer a single-strand form of T-DNA (T-strands) and Virulence (Vir)
effector proteins to plant cells. Following transfer, T-strands likely form complexes with Vir …

Plant susceptibility to pathogens is usually considered from the perspective of the loss of
resistance. However, susceptibility cannot be equated with plant passivity since active host …

Plants interact throughout their lives with environmental microorganisms. These interactions
determine plant development, nutrition, and fitness in a dynamic and stressful environment …

The success of sustainable agricultural practices has now become heavily dependent on the
interactions between crop plants and their associated microbiome. Continuous …

Tumors are usually classified into two main categories–benign or malignant, with much
more attention being devoted to the second category given that they are usually associated …

Summary Future Challenges in Plant Pathology Plant infection is a complicated process. On
encountering a plant, pathogenic microorganisms must first adapt to life on the epiphytic …
