Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), microbe-associated molecular patterns
(MAMPs), herbivore-associated molecular patterns (HAMPs), and damage-associated …

Pathogen-or microbe-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs/MAMPs) are detected as
nonself by host pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and activate pattern-triggered immunity …

Rice feeds half the world's population, and rice blast is often a destructive disease that
results in significant crop loss. Non-race-specific resistance has been more effective in …

Fungi have developed a plethora of strategies to colonize plants, and these interactions
result in a broad spectrum of outcomes ranging from beneficial interactions to death of the …

Plants and animals employ innate immune systems to cope with microbial infection. Pattern-
triggered immunity relies on the recognition of microbe-derived patterns by pattern …

Various conceptual models to describe the plant immune system have been presented. The
most recent paradigm to gain wide acceptance in the field is often referred to as the zigzag …

In animals and plants, pathogen recognition triggers the local activation of intracellular
signaling that is prerequisite for mounting systemic defenses in the whole organism. We …

We identified a glycoside hydrolase family 12 (GH12) protein, XEG1, produced by the
soybean pathogen Phytophthora sojae that exhibits xyloglucanase and β-glucanase activity …

In agriculture, current control of pathogens relies mainly on chemical fertilizers and
pesticides. However, alternative solutions are needed due to concerns for public health …

In both plants and animals, defense against pathogens relies on a complex surveillance
system for signs of danger. Danger signals may originate from the infectious agent or from …
