According to general model, jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET) signaling pathways are
induced in Arabidopsis after an attack of necrotroph, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary …

The hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans is the causal agent of
blackleg disease in Brassica napus (canola, oilseed rape) and causes significant loss of …

Molecular interaction between the causal agent of blackleg disease, Leptosphaeria
