Secondary metabolites in plants have been recognized as a novel basis of potential bio-
pesticides, paving the way for their use in sustainable agriculture. Plant secondary …

Plants use an intricate defense system against pests and pathogens, including the
production of low molecular mass secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity, which …

SUMMARY Introduction: Botrytis cinerea (teleomorph: Botryotinia fuckeliana) is an airborne
plant pathogen with a necrotrophic lifestyle attacking over 200 crop hosts worldwide …

Fungi and plants are rich sources of thousands of secondary metabolites. The genetically
coded possibilities for secondary metabolite production, the stimuli of the production, and …

Selection pressure exerted by insects and microorganisms shapes the diversity of plant
secondary metabolites. We identified a metabolic pathway for glucosinolates, known insect …

Plant secondary metabolites carry out numerous functions in interactions between plants
and a broad range of other organisms. Experimental evidence strongly supports the …

Plant secondary metabolites (PSM s) are ubiquitous in plants and play many ecological
roles. Each compound can vary in presence and/or quantity, and the composition of the …

A thorough understanding of quantitative disease resistance (QDR) would contribute to the
design and deployment of durably resistant crop cultivars. However, the molecular …

Plants inhabit environments crowded with infectious microbes that pose constant threats to
their survival. Necrotrophic pathogens are notorious for their aggressive and wide-ranging …

Despite the fact that roots are the organs most subject to microbial interactions, very little is
known about the response of roots to microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). By …
