Plant diseases reduce crop yields and threaten global food security, making the selection of
disease-resistant cultivars a major goal of crop breeding. Broad-spectrum resistance (BSR) …

Although quantitative resistance loci provide partial and durable resistance to a range of
pathogen species in different crops, the molecular mechanism of quantitative disease …

Nonhost resistance is a broad-spectrum plant defense that provides immunity to all
members of a plant species against all isolates of a microorganism that is pathogenic to …

Plants recruit innate immune receptors such as leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins to
recognize pathogen attack and activate defense genes. Here, we identified the pepper …

Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are crucial for lipid peroxidation processes during plant defense
responses to pathogen infection. A pepper (Capsicum annuum) 9-LOX gene, CaLOX1 …

Classical plant breeding methods are limited in their ability to confer disease resistance on
plants. However, in recent years, advancements in molecular breeding and biotechnological …

Although a great deal of research on ornamental geophytes has been conducted since the
beginning of the 1990s, current information has not been comprehensively presented to …

Soil-borne fungal pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum causes major economic losses by
inducing necrosis and wilting symptoms in many crop plants. Management of fusarium wilt is …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a technology that exploits an antiviral defense
mechanism in plants as a tool for plant reverse genetics. VIGS circumvents the need for …

Necrotrophic fungal pathogens of the genus Alternaria are globally recognized as one of the
most destructive plant pathogens in most of the industrially and agriculturally important crops …
