Vascular wilt fungi are a group of hemibiotrophic phytopathogens that infect diverse crop
plants. These pathogens have adapted to thrive in the nutrient-deprived niche of the plant …

The relationship of Resistance (R) gene-mediated defense to other forms of resistance in
plants is considered, and the natures of the products of dominant and recessive R genes are …

Vector-borne plant pathogens often change host traits to manipulate vector behavior in a
way that favors their spread. By contrast, infection by opportunistic fungi does not depend on …

To maximize breeding and exploitation of disease resistance traits for managing apple
replant disease (ARD), it is of great importance to understand the mechanisms of apple root …

Purple blotch (PB) is one of the most destructive foliar diseases of onion and other alliums,
caused by a necrotrophic fungal pathogen Alternaria porri. There are no reports on the …

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), a widely consumed legume in Ecuador, boasts low
economic value, significant nutritional contributions, and a remarkable capacity to enhance …

SUGARWINs are PR-4 proteins associated with sugarcane defense against
phytopathogens. Their expression is induced in response to damage by Diatraea …

Background Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are active participants of plant defense
against biotic and abiotic stresses. The PR-4 family features a Barwin domain at the C …

Main conclusion Peanut cultivars are known to produce stilbene compounds. Transcriptional
control plays a key role in the early stages of the stress response mechanism, involving both …

Soil-borne pathogens severely reduce the agricultural yield of peanuts. Accordingly, the
application of biocontrol agents for plant disease management is a potentially powerful …
