Genome-wide studies of PAL genes in sorghum and their responses to aphid infestation
Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3. 1.25) plays a crucial role in plant adaptation to
biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the current knowledge about PAL proteins in sorghum …

Susceptibility and plant immune control—a case of mycorrhizal strategy for plant colonization, symbiosis, and plant immune suppression
Plants and microbes (mycorrhizal fungi to be precise) have evolved together over the past
millions of years into an association that is mutualist. The plants supply the fungi with …
