Poplar is one of the most important forest trees because of its high economic value. Thanks
to the fast-growing rate, easy vegetative propagation and transformation, and availability of …

Our understanding of the molecular basis of plant-pathogen interactions is derived mostly
from studies of model annual plant species, and until recently, few addressed disease …

Molecular pathology of forest trees for a long time lagged behind parallel studies on
agricultural crop pathology. Recent technological advances have significantly contributed to …

Poplars are challenged by a wide range of pathogens during their lifespan, and have an
innate immunity system that activates defence responses to restrict pathogen growth. Large …

Abstract Background The fungus Marssonina brunnea is a causal pathogen of Marssonina
leaf spot that devastates poplar plantations by defoliating susceptible trees before normal …

Marssonina leaf spot disease of poplar (MLDP), caused by the hemibiotrophic pathogen
Marssonina brunnea, frequently results in damage to many poplar species. In nature, two …

Marssonina brunnea, the causative pathogen of Marssonina leaf spot of poplars (MLSP),
devastates poplar plantations by forming black spots on leaves and defoliating trees …

The knowledge on the host specificity of a pathogen underlying an interaction is becoming
an urgent necessity for global warming. In this study, the gene expression profiles and the …

Marssonina brunnea is the main pathogen that causes poplar black spot disease, which
leads to the decrease of the photosynthetic efficiency and significantly affects the production …
