Cotton is widely grown in many countries around the world due to the huge economic value
of the total natural fiber. Verticillium wilt, caused by the soil-borne pathogen Verticillium …

Fungal pathogens represent a major group of plant invaders that are the causative agents of
many notorious plant diseases. Large quantities of RNAs, especially small RNAs involved in …

Soil-borne fungal pathogens that cause crop disease are major threats to agriculture
worldwide. Here, we identified a secretory polysaccharide deacetylase (PDA1) from the soil …

Communication between interacting organisms via bioactive molecules is widespread in
nature and plays key roles in diverse biological processes. Small RNAs (sRNAs) can travel …

The vascular pathogen Verticillium dahliae infects the roots of plants to cause Verticillium
wilt. The molecular mechanisms underlying V. dahliae virulence and host resistance remain …

The soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae, the most notorious plant pathogen of the
Verticillium genus, causes vascular wilts in a wide variety of economically important crops …

RNA silencing (or RNA interference, RNAi) is a conserved mechanism for regulating gene
expression in eukaryotes. The discovery of natural trans‐kingdom RNAi indicated that small …

We present an in‐depth analysis of selected CASP15 targets, focusing on their biological
and functional significance. The authors of the structures identify and discuss key protein …

Detection of surrounding organisms in the environment plays a major role in the evolution of
interspecies interactions, such as predator–prey relationships. Nematode-trapping fungi …

The apoplast serves as the first battlefield between the plant hosts and invading microbes;
therefore, work on plant-pathogen interactions has increasingly focused on apoplastic …
