In most fungal pathogen–plant systems, a high level of sugars in plant tissues enhances
plant resistance. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanisms of …

Aphid feeding induces various defense signaling mechanisms in plants. The recognition of
feeding activities by plants occurs through the use of transmembrane pattern recognition …

Changes in the levels of Ca2+, pH, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are recognized as
key cellular regulators involved in diverse physiological and developmental processes in …

In this study we examined whether and to what extent oxidative stress is induced in seedling
leaves of Pisum sativum L. cv. Cysterski in response to pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum …

The taxonomically diverse rhizosphere microbiome contributes to plant nutrition, growth and
health, including protection against soil-borne pathogens. We previously showed that …

Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum acutatum is one of the most devastating fungal
diseases of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The utilization of chitin-binding proteins or …

This study investigated the effects of cross-talk interactions of sucrose and infection caused
by a pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lupini on the regulation of the …

Soluble sugars such as sucrose, glucose and fructose in plant host cells not only play the
role as donors of carbon skeletons, but they may also induce metabolic signals influencing …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are by-products of aerobic metabolism, and excessive
production can result in oxidative stress and cell damage. In addition, ROS function as …

Rooted cuttings from two carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) cultivars showing contrasting
responses to the vascular wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi (Fod) were …
