To confer resistance against pathogens and pests in plants, typically dominant resistance
genes are deployed. However, because resistance is based on recognition of a single …

Loss-of-function mutations of one or more of the appropriate Mildew resistance locus o (Mlo)
genes are an apparently reliable “weapon” to protect plants from infection by powdery …

Plant cells are surrounded by cell walls protecting them from a myriad of environmental
challenges. For successful habitat adaptation, extracellular cues are perceived at the cell …

Plants are exposed to a wide range of potential pathogens, which derive from diverse phyla.
Therefore, plants have developed successful defense mechanisms during co-evolution with …

The plant cuticle and cell wall separate microbial pathogens from the products of plant
metabolism. While microbial pathogens try to breach these barriers for colonization, plants …

Symbiosis between a fungus and a plant is a widespread phenomenon in nature. The
outcome of such an interaction can vary in a seamless manner from mutualism to parasitism …

Fungi of the recently defined order Sebacinales (Basidiomycota) are involved in a wide
spectrum of mutualistic symbioses (including mycorrhizae) with various plants, thereby …

Hypersensitive response (HR) cell death is the most effective plant immune response
restricting fungal pathogen invasion. Here, we report that incompatible rice (Oryza sativa) …
