Plant pathogens are one of the main factors hindering the breeding of cash crops.
Pathogens, including oomycetes, fungus, and bacteria, secrete effectors as invasion …

Plant diseases caused by necrotrophic fungal pathogens result in large economic losses in
field crop production worldwide. Effectors are important players of plant-pathogen interaction …

Soil-borne fungal pathogens that cause crop disease are major threats to agriculture
worldwide. Here, we identified a secretory polysaccharide deacetylase (PDA1) from the soil …

Fungal pathogens are major destructive microorganisms for land plants and pose growing
challenges to global crop production. Chitin is a vital building block for fungal cell walls and …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi greatly improve mineral uptake by host plants in nutrient‐
depleted soil and can intracellularly colonize root cortex cells in the vast majority of higher …

Plants are capable of perceiving microorganisms by coordinating processes to establish
different forms of plant–microbe relationships. Plant colonization is governed in fungal and …

Members of plant specific families of receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and receptor-like proteins
(RLPs), containing 3 extracellular LysMs have been shown to directly bind and/or to be …

Forests are an essential component of the natural environment, as they support biodiversity,
sequester carbon, and play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles—in addition to …

The interaction of fungal pathogens with their host requires a novel invading mechanism
and the presence of various virulence-associated components responsible for promoting the …

Transposable elements are powerful drivers of genome evolution in many eukaryotes.
Although they are mostly considered as 'selfish'genetic elements, increasing evidence …
