The constant struggle between plants and microbes has driven the evolution of multiple
defense strategies in the host as well as offense strategies in the pathogen. To defend …

Plants are continuously exposed to agents such as herbivores and environmental
mechanical stresses that cause wounding and open the way to the invasion by microbial …

SUMMARY Introduction: Botrytis cinerea (teleomorph: Botryotinia fuckeliana) is an airborne
plant pathogen with a necrotrophic lifestyle attacking over 200 crop hosts worldwide …

Since the discovery of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) as an inhibitor of ethylene action,
over 100 studies have examined details of its action, application and effects on ethylene …

Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to detect various forms of danger. Damage-
associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are endogenous danger molecules that are …

The role of ethylene in the hormonal regulation of plant development has been well
established. In addition, it has been implicated in biotic stress, both as a virulence factor of …

The molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in plant resistance to the necrotrophic
fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea and their genetic control are poorly understood. Botrytis …

Plant resistance to disease is controlled by the combination of defense response pathways
that are activated depending on the nature of the pathogen. We identified the Arabidopsis …

Some alternative control strategies of currently emerging plant diseases are based on the
use of resistance inducers. This review highlights the recent advances made in the …

The phytohormone ethylene is a principal modulator in many aspects of plant life, including
various mechanisms by which plants react to pathogen attack. Induced ethylene …
