The hypersensitive defence response is found in all higher plants and is characterized by a
rapid cell death at the point of pathogen ingress. It is usually associated with pathogen …

This review describes the current status of genome-wide association study (GWAS) of the
major crops in maize (Zea mays L.) concentrate on performing association map** as a …

Soil microbes that colonize plant roots and are responsive to differences in plant genotype
remain to be ascertained for agronomically important crops. From a very large-scale …

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has become a widely accepted strategy for
decoding genotype-phenotype associations in many species thanks to advances in next …

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

The emergence and re-emergence of plant pathogenic microorganisms are processes that
imply perturbations in both host and pathogen ecological niches. Global change is largely …

Plants have evolved a sophisticated innate immune system to defend against pathogen
infection, and intracellular nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR or NB-LRR) immune …

Soybean is the world's leading source of vegetable protein and demand for its seed
continues to grow. Breeders have successfully increased soybean yield, but the genetic …

Plant disease resistance is often mediated by nucleotide binding-leucine rich repeat (NLR)
proteins which remain auto-inhibited until recognition of specific pathogen-derived …

Maize (Zea mays) is one of the most important crops in the world, but its yield and quality are
seriously affected by diverse diseases. Identifying broad-spectrum resistance genes is …
