RNA silencing is a well-established antiviral immunity system in plants, in which small RNAs
guide Argonaute proteins to targets in viral RNA or DNA, resulting in virus repression. Virus …

The microbiome of plants plays a crucial role in both plant and ecosystem health. Rapid
advances in multi-omics tools are dramatically increasing access to the plant microbiome …

The group of strains constituting the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) is a
prominent model for the study of plant-pathogenic bacteria because of its impact on …

Agricultural ecosystems are composed of genetically depauperate populations of crop
plants grown at a high density and over large spatial scales, with the regional composition of …

It has been more than two decades since the formulation of the so‐called 'trade‐
off'hypothesis as an alternative to the then commonly accepted idea that parasites should …

Deformed wing virus (DWV; Iflaviridae) is one of many viruses infecting honeybees and one
of the most heavily investigated due to its close association with honeybee colony collapse …

There is growing evidence of the importance of microbial mutualistic symbioses in insect–
plant interactions. Mutualists may affect host plant range and enable insects to manipulate …

This review focuses on virus-plant pathosystems at the interface between managed and
natural vegetation, and describes how rapid expansion in human activity and climate …

Owing to their evolutionary potential, plant pathogens are able to rapidly adapt to genetically
controlled plant resistance, often resulting in resistance breakdown and major epidemics in …

The two major mechanisms of plant defense against pathogens are resistance (the host's
ability to limit pathogen multiplication) and tolerance (the host's ability to reduce the effect of …
