▪ Abstract Recognition is the earliest step in any direct plant-microbe interaction. Recognition
between Phytophthora pathogens, which are oomycetes, phylogenetically distinct from …

The oomycetes form one of several lineages within the eukaryotes that independently
evolved a parasitic lifestyle and consequently are thought to have developed alternative …

The plant apoplast forms a protease-rich environment in which proteases are integral
components of the plant defense response. Plant pathogenic oomycetes, such as the potato …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the oomycete plant pathogens that have a
biotrophic relationship with their hosts for all or part of their life cycle. Particular attention is …

Phenolics have been in the center of many discoveries on plant defenses to pathogens,
including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. More recently, this fascinating group of metabolites …

Defence responses were investigated in two potato cultivars with different levels of
resistance to late blight, Russet Burbank (susceptible) and Kennebec (moderately resistant) …

The influence of host genotype on the expression of induced resistance was examined in
several cultivars of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare). Induced resistance was activated using …

N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs), a well-described group of quorum sensing molecules,
may modulate plant defense responses and plant growth. However, there is limited …

Activation of the innate immune system before the invasion of pathogens is a promising way
to improve the resistance of plant against infection while reducing the use of agricultural …

In order to get a better understanding of protein association during Solanum tuberosum (cv.
Sarpo Mira)–Phytophthora infestans incompatible interaction, we investigated the proteome …
