Plant secondary metabolites carry out numerous functions in interactions between plants
and a broad range of other organisms. Experimental evidence strongly supports the …

Saponins are bioactive compounds generally considered to be produced by plants to
counteract pathogens and herbivores. Besides their role in plant defense, saponins are of …

To understand the interaction mechanism between graphene oxide (GO) and typical
phytopathogens, a particular investigation was conducted about the antimicrobial activity of …

During host colonization, plant-associated microbes, including fungi and oomycetes, deliver
a collection of glycoside hydrolases (GHs) to their cell surfaces and surrounding …

Plants produce a diverse array of secondary metabolites, many of which have antifungal
activity. Some of these compounds are constitutive, existing in healthy plants in their …

In plants, sterols are found in free form (free sterols, FSs) and conjugated as steryl esters
(SEs), steryl glycosides (SGs) and acyl steryl glycosides (ASGs). Conjugated sterols are …

Many plants produce low-molecular-weight compounds which inhibit the growth of
phytopathogenic fungi in vitro. These compounds may be preformed inhibitors that are …

Tomatoes, a major food source for humans, accumulate a variety of secondary metabolites
including phenolic compounds, phytoalexins, protease inhibitors, and glycoalkaloids. These …

Focusing on the great variety of research being done in the field of postharvest pathology,
this volume presents a collection of topics concerning the diseases of harvested fruits and …

Saponins are plant glycosides that derive their name from their soap-like properties. They
occur in a great many plant species, and have been implicated as pre-formed determinants …
