A comprehensive understanding of host–pathogen interactions requires a knowledge of the
associated gene expression changes in both the pathogen and the host. Traditional, probe …

The widespread distribution of organic and inorganic pollutants in water resources have
increased due to rapid industrialization. Rhizospheric zone-associated bacteria along with …

Alleles that confer multiple disease resistance (MDR) are valuable in crop improvement,
although the molecular mechanisms underlying their functions remain largely unknown. A …

Phytohormone crosstalk is crucial for plant defenses against pathogens and insects in which
salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET) play key roles. These low …

Plant-pathogenic oomycetes include numerous species that are ongoing threats to
agriculture and natural ecosystems. Understanding the molecular dialogs between …

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (NLR) genes comprise the largest family of plant
disease-resistance genes. Angiosperm NLR genes are phylogenetically divided into the …

Phytohormones regulate a large variety of physiological processes in plants. In addition,
salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET) are responsible for primary …

The exchange of small RNAs (sRNAs) between hosts and pathogens can lead to gene
silencing in the recipient organism, a mechanism termed cross-kingdom RNAi (ck-RNAi) …

Introduction: Plants do not grow in isolation, rather they are hosts to a variety of microbes in
their natural environments. While, few thrive in the plants for their own benefit, others may …

Some of the most devastating oomycete pathogens deploy effector proteins, with the
signature amino acid motif RXLR, that enter plant cells to promote virulence. Research on …
