The plant cell wall is the first physical and defensive barrier against pathogens. The plant
cell wall usually undergoes dynamic remodeling as an immune response to prevent …

The WD40 domain is one of the most abundant and interacting domains in the eukaryotic
genome. In proteins the WD domain folds into a β-propeller structure, providing a platform …

Jasmonates (JAs)[Jasmonic acid (JA) and methyl jasmonates (MeJAs)] are known to take
part in various physiological processes. Exogenous application of JAs so far tested on …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continually generated as a consequence of the normal
metabolism in aerobic organisms. Accumulation and release of ROS into cell take place in …

It is an apparent conundrum how plants evolved effector-triggered immunity (ETI), involving
programmed cell death (PCD), as a major defence mechanism against biotrophic …

Abstract Phospholipases D (PLD) and C (PLC) hydrolyze the phosphodiesteric linkages of
the head group of membrane phospholipids. PLDs and PLCs in plants occur in different …

Plants inhabit environments crowded with infectious microbes that pose constant threats to
their survival. Necrotrophic pathogens are notorious for their aggressive and wide-ranging …

SUMMARY Taxonomy: Kingdom Fungi; Phylum Ascomycota; Class Sordariomycetes; Order
Hypocreales; Family Nectriaceae; genus Fusarium. Host range: Very broad at the species …

Melatonin acts as a crucial signaling molecule with multiple physiological functions in plant
response to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the impact and regulatory mechanism of …

The Arabidopsis immune receptor FLS2 perceives bacterial flagellin epitope flg22 to activate
defenses through the central cytoplasmic kinase BIK1. The heterotrimeric G proteins …
