The hypersensitive defence response is found in all higher plants and is characterized by a
rapid cell death at the point of pathogen ingress. It is usually associated with pathogen …

Wheat is one of the primary staple foods throughout the planet. Significant yield gains in
wheat production over the past 40 years have resulted in a steady balance of supply versus …

Plants possess large arsenals of immune receptors capable of recognizing all pathogen
classes. To cause disease, pathogenic organisms must be able to overcome physical …

Plants can be colonized by fungi that have adopted highly diverse lifestyles, ranging from
symbiotic to necrotrophic. Colonization is governed in all systems by hundreds of secreted …

The members of the pathogenesis-related protein 1 (PR-1) family are among the most
abundantly produced proteins in plants on pathogen attack, and PR-1 gene expression has …

Live-cell imaging assisted by fluorescent markers has been fundamental to understanding
the focused secretory'warfare'that occurs between plants and biotrophic pathogens that feed …

The pathogenesis‐related (PR) proteins of plants have originally been identified as proteins
that are strongly induced upon biotic and abiotic stress. These proteins fall into 17 distinct …

One of most important challenges in plant breeding is improving resistance to the plethora of
pathogens that threaten our crops. The ever-growing world population, changing pathogen …

Zymoseptoria tritici is the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch, a major pathogen of wheat
globally and the most damaging pathogen of wheat in Europe. A gene‐for‐gene (GFG) …

Among necrotrophic fungi, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is remarkable for its extremely broad host
range and for its aggressive host tissue colonization. With full genome sequencing …
