Plants respond to pathogens using elaborate networks of genetic interactions. Recently,
significant progress has been made in understanding RNA silencing and how viruses …

In recent years, the use of predatory mirid bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) in horticultural crops
has increased considerably. Mirid bugs are zoophytophagous predators, that is, they display …

The plant's innate immune system detects potential biotic threats through recognition of
microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) or danger-associated molecular patterns …

Plants respond to pathogens through dynamic regulation of plasma membrane-bound
signaling pathways. To date, how the plant plasma membrane is involved in responses to …

Societal and environmental pressures demand high-quality and resilient crop** plants
and plant-based foods grown with the use of low or no synthetic chemical inputs. Mild strain …

Several biological control agents of the hemipteran insect families Miridae, Anthocoridae
and Pentatomidae, as well as mites of the family Phytoseiidae are known as …

Virus infection of plants may induce a variety of disease symptoms. However, little is known
about the molecular mechanism of systemic symptom development in infected plants. Here …

We have observed that treatments with salicylic acid (SA) or gentisic acid (GA) induced
resistance to RNA pathogens such as ToMV and CEVd in tomato and Gynura auriantiaca …

Plant-virus interactions are greatly influenced by environmental factors such as
temperatures. In virus-infected plants, enhanced temperature is frequently associated with …

Tomato spotted wilt tospovirus (TSWV), one of the most important plant viruses, causes yield
losses to many crops including tomato. The current disease management for TSWV is based …
