The large genetic and structural divergences between plants and fungi may hinder the
transmission of viruses between these two kingdoms to some extent. However, recent …

Plant pathogens are a significant challenge in agriculture despite our best efforts to combat
them. One of the most effective and sustainable ways to manage plant pathogens is to use …

Harnessing natural genetic variation is an established alternative to artificial genetic
variation for investigating the molecular dialog between partners in plant pathosystems …

Many species of fungal plant pathogens coexist as multiple lineages on the same host, but
the factors underlying the origin and maintenance of population structure remain largely …

Insecticidal fungi represent a promising alternative to chemical pesticides for disease vector
control. Here, we show that the pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana exports a microRNA …

Chloroplasts play a central role in plant immunity through the synthesis of secondary
metabolites and defense compounds, as well as phytohormones, such as jasmonic acid and …

Phyto-pathogenic fungi can cause huge damage to crop production. During millions of years
of coexistence, fungi have evolved diverse life-style to obtain nutrients from the host and to …

The plant secretome is usually considered in the frame of proteomics, aiming at
characterizing extracellular proteins, their biological roles and the mechanisms accounting …

Several strains of the yeast Metschnikowia pulcherrima exhibit strong antagonistic activity
against postharvest pathogens and may have broad biotechnological potential as biocontrol …

While there has been significant progress characterizing the 'symbiotic toolkit'of
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, how host specificity may be encoded into ECM fungal …
