Plants are in contact with diverse pathogens and microorganisms. Intense investigation over
the last 30 years has resulted in the identification of multiple immune receptors in model and …

Plant response to pathogen infection varies within a leaf, yet this heterogeneity is not well
resolved. We expose Arabidopsis to Pseudomonas syringae or mock treatment and profile> …

Pathogen infection is a dynamic process. Here, we employ single-cell transcriptomics to
investigate plant response heterogeneity. By generating an Arabidopsis thaliana leaf atlas …

Biotic and abiotic environmental cues are major factors influencing plant growth and
productivity. Interactions with biotic (eg symbionts and pathogens) and abiotic (eg changes …

Global banana production is currently challenged by Panama disease, caused by Fusarium
oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (FocTR4). There are no effective fungicide-based …

Plants interact with a plethora of pathogenic microorganisms in nature. Pathogen-plant
interaction experiments focus mainly on single-strain infections, typically ignoring the …

Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici, is among the most
threatening wheat diseases in Europe. Genetic resistance remains one of the main …

Transitioning from spores to hyphae is pivotal to host invasion by the plant pathogenic
fungus Zymoseptoria tritici. This dimorphic switch can be initiated by high temperature in …

The wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici is capable of a long period of pre-invasive epiphytic
growth. Studies have shown that virulent isolates vary in the extent, duration and growth …

Little is known about the impact of host immunity on sexual reproduction in fungal
pathogens. In particular, it is unclear whether crossing requires both sexual partners to infect …
