Variations in climate conditions can dramatically affect plant health and the generation of
climate-resilient crops is imperative to food security. In addition to directly affecting plants, it …

Drought dynamically influences the interactions between plants and pathogens, thereby
affecting disease outbreaks. Understanding the intricate mechanistic aspects of the …

Combined abiotic and biotic stresses modify plant defense signaling, leading to either the
activation or suppression of defense responses. Although the majority of combined abiotic …

Plants deposit lignin in the secondary cell wall as a common response to drought and
pathogen attacks. Cell wall localised multicopper oxidase family enzymes LACCASES …

Defense responses in plants are based on complex biochemical processes. Systemic
acquired resistance (SAR) helps to fight infections by (hemi-) biotrophic pathogens. One …

Context or problem Root rots, a major factor contributing to yield loss in chickpea, often
occur in disease complexes. Objective or research question Plant responses to disease …

Plants must adapt to the complex effects of several stressors brought on by global warming,
which may result in interaction and superposition effects between diverse stressors. Few …

Abiotic stressors such as drought and heat predispose chickpea plants to pathogens of key
importance leading to significant crop loss under field conditions. In this study, we have …

Abstract Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi.) Goid is an emerging pathogen that causes
diseases like dry root rot and charcoal rot in more than 100 plant families. Abiotic stresses …

Vigna radiata L., commonly referred to as mungbean or green gram, holds significant
importance as a pulse crop in India. However, its productivity is severely impacted by the …
