The apoplast is one of the first cellular compartments outside the plasma membrane that
phytopathogenic microbes encounter in the early stages of plant tissue invasion. Plants …

Plant cell walls delimit cells from their environment and provide mechanical stability to
withstand internal turgor pressure as well as external influences. Environmental factors can …

Olive oil production generates substantial quantities of pomace, which are often disposed of
in soil, leading to adverse effects on agriculture and the environment. Furthermore, climate …

The mechanisms underlying susceptibility to and defense against Pseudomonas syringae
(Pph) of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) have not yet been clarified. To investigate …

The production of extra virgin olive oil generates significant amounts of olive mill waste,
whose disposal leads to severe environmental impacts, especially due to the high content of …

Pectin and its modification influence the plasticity and strength of the plant cell wall
controlling cell adhesion, size, shape, and pathogen resistance. The Golgi membrane …

Background Cotton is an important economic crop and a host of Liriomyza sativae. Pectin
methylesterase (PME)-mediated pectin metabolism plays an indispensable role in multiple …

This review explores the role of pectin, a complex polysaccharide found in the plant cell wall,
in mediating immune responses during interactions between plants and microbes. The …

Pectin is a vital component of plant cell walls and its methylation process is regulated by
pectin methylesterase inhibitors (PMEIs). PMEIs regulate the structural and functional …

Necrotrophic pathogens cause serious threats to agricultural crops, and understanding the
resistance genes and their genetic networks is key to breeding new plant cultivars with …
