Plants cannot move to escape environmental challenges. Biotic stresses result from a
battery of potential pathogens: fungi, bacteria, nematodes and insects intercept the …

Plant diseases can drastically abate the crop yields as the degree of disease outbreak is
getting severe around the world. Therefore, plant disease management has always been …

Plants have developed effective mechanisms to recognize and respond to infections caused
by pathogens. Plant resistance gene analogs (RGAs), as resistance (R) gene candidates …

Many disease resistance (R) proteins of plants detect the presence of disease-causing
bacteria, viruses, or fungi by recognizing specific pathogen effector molecules that are …

Any given pathogenic microbial species typically colonizes a limited number of plant
species. Plant species outside of this host range mount nonhost disease resistance to …

We used a novel approach that incorporated chromosome sorting, next-generation
sequencing, array hybridization, and systematic exploitation of conserved synteny with …

▪ Abstract More than 30 genes have been characterized from different plant species that
provide resistance to a variety of different pathogen and pest species. The structures of most …

Plant immune responses are triggered by pattern recognition receptors that detect
conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or by resistance (R) proteins …

More than 50 leaf rust resistance (Lr) genes against the fungal pathogen Puccinia triticina
have been identified in the wheat gene pool, and a large number of them have been …

Activation of local and systemic plant defences in response to pathogen attack involves
dramatic cellular reprogramming. Over the past 10 years many novel genes, proteins and …
