Genomic analysis has demonstrated that many fungi possess essential gene clusters for the
production of previously unobserved secondary metabolites; however, these genes are …

Seeds are facing harsher environments due to the changing climate. Improving seeds' stress
resilience is critical to reduce yield loss. Here, we propose that using ROS-generating …

Chitin is composed of N-acetylglucosamine units. Chitin a polysaccharide found in the cell
walls of fungi and exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans, can elicit a potent defense …

Compost is used worldwide as a soil conditioner for crops, but its functions have still been
explored. Here, the omics profiles of carrots were investigated, as a root vegetable plant …

The sprout of potatoes during storage threatens the post-harvest potato market supply chain.
To reduce the massive economic losses in potato production industry, herein, the …

A large subset of plant stress-signaling pathways, including those related with chemical
defense production, exhibit diurnal or circadian oscillations. However the extent to which …

Background and aims Intercropping-induced plant resistance to herbivorous pests is
explained by different factors such as pest deterrence, attraction of natural enemies …

Introduction Trichoderma spp. is a recognized bio-control agent that promotes plant growth
and enhances resistance against soil-borne diseases, especially Fusarium wilt. It is …

Alcohol oxidases (AOXs) are ecologically important enzymes that facilitate a number of plant–
fungal interactions. Within Ascomycota they are primarily associated with methylotrophy, as …

Abstract Key message The CcGRXS12 gene protects plants from cellular oxidative damage
that are caused by both biotic and abiotic stresses. The protein possesses GSH-disulphide …
