Trichoderma species constitute a group of filamentous fungi extensively recognized for their effectiveness in biological ...

In a discovery three decades in the making, scientists at Rutgers and Brookhaven National Laboratory have acquired detailed ...

A University of Edinburgh study found that diverse plant diets and different fungal pathogens help maintain genetic variation ...

Nanoplastics are everywhere. These fragments are so tiny they can accumulate on bacteria and be taken up by plant roots; they ...

One key defense strategy involves recognizing pathogen-associated molecular ... in a Science perspective article on new plant-microbe interaction research. Plants recognize a specific part of ...

“This paper, I would argue, is a very important and valuable contribution to … understanding the interaction between crops and their pathogens.” Plant diseases are one of the leading causes ...

the mechanism by which plants limit pathogen growth remains unclear. Here, we show that lignin accumulates in Arabidopsis leaves in response to incompatible interactions with bacterial pathogens in a ...

Plant diseases– their occurrence and severity– result from the impact of three factors: the host plant, the pathogen, and the environmental conditions. This is represented with the disease triangle.

Their theoretical framework, they say, could help analyze other interactions between species to reveal pathogen contact points. How are proteins in the cells of a flowering plant similar to social ...
