Xanthomonads are bacterial plant pathogens that cause diseases on many plant species,
including important crops. Key to pathogenicity of most Xanthomonas pathovars is a Hrp …

Plants grow within a complex web of species that interact with each other and with the
plant,,,,,,,,–. These interactions are governed by a wide repertoire of chemical signals, and …

Fungi and oomycetes include deep and diverse lineages of eukaryotic plant pathogens. The

Abstract Since 2005, the Pathogen–Host Interactions Database (PHI-base) has manually
curated experimentally verified pathogenicity, virulence and effector genes from fungal …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continually generated as a consequence of the normal
metabolism in aerobic organisms. Accumulation and release of ROS into cell take place in …

Live-cell imaging assisted by fluorescent markers has been fundamental to understanding
the focused secretory'warfare'that occurs between plants and biotrophic pathogens that feed …

Phytopathogenic bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes invade and colonize their host plants
through distinct routes. These pathogens secrete diverse groups of effector proteins that aid …

One of most important challenges in plant breeding is improving resistance to the plethora of
pathogens that threaten our crops. The ever-growing world population, changing pathogen …
