Plants possess large arsenals of immune receptors capable of recognizing all pathogen
classes. To cause disease, pathogenic organisms must be able to overcome physical …

Plant growth and response to environmental cues are largely governed by phytohormones.
The plant hormones ethylene, jasmonic acid, and salicylic acid (SA) play a central role in the …

Pathogen infection is a dynamic process. Here, we employ single-cell transcriptomics to
investigate plant response heterogeneity. By generating an Arabidopsis thaliana leaf atlas …

Certain obligate parasites induce complex and substantial phenotypic changes in their hosts
in ways that favor their transmission to other trophic levels. However, the mechanisms …

Several economically relevant phytoplasma-associated diseases are described together
with an update of phytoplasma taxonomy and major biological and molecular features of …

Phytoplasmas are phloem‐restricted plant‐pathogenic bacteria transmitted by insects. They
cause diseases in a wide range of host plants, resulting in significant economic and …

The presence of phytoplasmas and their associated diseases is an emerging threat to
vegetable production which leads to severe yield losses worldwide. Phytoplasmas are …

The citrus industry is facing an unprecedented challenge from Huanglongbing (HLB). All
cultivars can be affected by the HLB-associated bacterium 'Candidatus Liberibacter …

Phytoplasmas are insect-transmitted phytopathogenic bacteria that can alter plant
morphology and the longevity and reproduction rates and behavior of their insect vectors …

Pathogens that rely upon multiple hosts to complete their life cycles often modify behavior
and development of these hosts to coerce them into improving pathogen fitness. However …
