Haustoria are morphological features of an extremely successful class of plant parasites, the
obligate biotrophs. The broad phylogenetic spectrum of organisms producing haustoria …

Biotrophic plant pathogenic fungi are one of the major causes of crop losses. The infection
processes they exhibit are typified by infected host plant cells remaining alive for several …

This new edition of the universally acclaimed and widely-used textbook on fungal biology
has been completely re-written, drawing directly on the authors' research and teaching …

Summary 'Compatibility'describes the complementary relationship between a plant species
and an adapted pathogen species that underlies susceptibility and which ultimately results …

▪ Abstract Parasitic biotrophs such as mildews and rusts evolved specific mechanisms that
keep host cells alive during infection. These fungi appear to absorb nutrients mainly by …

A better understanding of the fundamental principles of host-pathogen interactions should
enable us to develop new strategies to control disease and to eliminate or at least manage …

A cDNA library constructed from haustoria of the rust fungus Uromyces fabae was screened
for clones that are differentially expressed in haustoria. One family of cDNAs (in planta …

Biotrophic plant pathogenic fungi are among the dreadful pathogens that continuously
threaten the production of economically important crops. The interaction of biotrophic fungal …

▪ Abstract Interest in the rust fungi derives from their success as plant pathogens. For
example, the epidemic on coffee had serious economic and social impacts on diverse …

Cereal production plays a major role in both animal and human diets throughout the world.
However, cereal crops are vulnerable to attacks by fungal pathogens on the foliage …
