Plants have developed a complex defense system against diverse pests and pathogens.
Once pathogens overcome mechanical barriers to infection, plant receptors initiate signaling …

Trees are an integral part of human life, and a vital component of biodiversity. Forest trees in
particular are renewable sources of food, fodder, fuel wood, timber and other valuable non …

Following the near-obliteration of American chestnut (Castanea dentata [Marsh.] Borkh.) by
the chestnut blight early in the last century, interest in its restoration has been revived by …

Oxalate oxidase (OXO) converts oxalic acid (OA) and O2 to CO2 and hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2), and acts as a source of H2O2 in certain plant-pathogen interactions. To determine if …

We propose a conceptual framework for restoration of threatened plant species that
encourages integration of technological, ecological, and social spheres. A sphere …

Characterized by strong acidity, chelating ability, and reducing ability, oxalic acid, a low
molecular weight dicarboxylic organic acid, plays important roles in the regulation of plant …

Dramatic progress in molecular biology and genetic engineering has recently produced an
unparalleled wealth of information on the mechanisms of plant and pathogen interactions at …

Recent applications of techniques in plant molecular biology and biotechnology to the study
of host–pathogen interactions have resulted in the identification and cloning of numerous …

Germin and germin-like proteins (GLPs) are encoded by a family of genes found in all
plants. They are part of the cupin superfamily of biochemically diverse proteins, a …

Germin-like proteins (GLPs) have been shown to be encoded by multigene families in
several plant species and a role of some subfamily members in defense against pathogen …
