Throughout their life plants are associated with various microorganisms, including
commensal, symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms. Pathogens are genetically adapted …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi are a significant threat to economic and food security worldwide.
Novel protection strategies are required and therefore it is critical we understand the …

The Cuscuta genus comprises obligate parasitic plants that have an unusually wide host
range. Whether Cuscuta uses different infection strategies for different hosts or whether the …

Simple Summary Environmental stresses adversely affect rice production. Understanding
the molecular responses of rice to these stresses will have an enormous impact on the …

Cultivar‐strain specificity in the wheat–Zymoseptoria tritici pathosystem determines the
infection outcome and is controlled by resistance genes on the host side, many of which …

Poaceae plants can locally accumulate iron to suppress pathogen infection. It remains
unknown how pathogens overcome host-derived iron stress during their successful …

Plant genotype drives the development of plant phenotypes and the assembly of plant
microbiota. The potential influence of the plant phenotypic characters on its microbiota is not …

Many filamentous plant pathogens exhibit high levels of genomic variability, yet the impact of
this variation on host–pathogen interactions is largely unknown. We have addressed host …

Plant survival in the terrestrial ecosystem is influenced by both beneficial and harmful
microbes. Trichoderma spp. are a group of filamentous fungi that promote plant growth and …

Root‐infecting vascular fungi cause wilt diseases and provoke devastating losses in
hundreds of crops. It is currently unknown how these pathogens evolved and whether they …
