Increasing global food production is threatened by harsh environmental conditions along
with biotic stresses, requiring massive new research into integrated stress resistance in …

Hybrid necrosis in plants refers to a genetic autoimmunity syndrome in the progeny of
interspecific or intraspecific crosses. Although the phenomenon was first documented in …

It has been widely reported that probiotic consortia in the rhizosphere can enhance the plant
resistance to pathogens. However, the general composition and functional profiles of …

Arabidopsis MYC2 is a basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor that works both as a
negative and positive regulator of light and multiple hormonal signaling pathways, including …

Plants rely on their microbiota for improving the nutritional status and environmental stress
tolerance. Previous studies mainly focused on bipartite interactions (a plant challenged by a …

The NBS-LRR (NLR) gene family plays a pivotal role in regulating disease defense
response in plants. Cucumber is one of the most important vegetable crops in the world, and …

Autoimmunity in plants has been found in numerous hybrids as a form of hybrid necrosis
and mutant panels. Uncontrolled cell death is a main cellular outcome of autoimmunity …

Plants evolve a prompt and robust immune system to defend themselves against pathogen
infections. Pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) is the …

Plant pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria evade the host plant immune system by secreting
Type III (T3E) and Type IV effector (T4E) proteins into the plant cytoplasm. Mostly T3Es are …

Soil salinity is a growing problem in world production agriculture. Continued improvement in
crop salt tolerance will require the implementation of innovative breeding strategies such as …
