Plants consistently encounter environmental stresses that negatively affect their growth and
development. To mitigate these challenges, plants have developed a range of adaptive …

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins and are involved in a multitude of biological
functions. Lectins at the surface of plant cells often occur as lectin receptor-like kinases …

Peanut bacterial wilt (PBW) caused by the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum severely
affects the growth and yield potential of peanut crop. In this study, we synthesized silica …

Ralstonia solanacearum, a species complex of bacterial plant pathogens that causes
bacterial wilt, comprises four phylotypes that evolved when a founder population was split …

It is still difficult to manipulate the nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) class
disease resistance genes because of their large multigenic family. Here, we report the …

Pathogens generate and secrete effector proteins to the host plant cells during pathogenesis
to promote virulence and colonization. If the plant carries resistance (R) proteins that …

Drought stress is an important environmental factor limiting apple yield and fruit quality.
Previously, we identified GRETCHEN HAGEN3. 6 (GH3. 6) as a negative regulator of …

Plant diseases critically affect the growth and productivity with an eventual impact on global
economy, food safety, and security. The regulation of gene expression is a decisive factor …
