Introduction: Drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses that negatively
influence crop performance and productivity. Plants acclimatize to drought stress conditions …

Plants are prone to a number of pathogens and abiotic stresses that cause various
disorders. However, plants possess a defense mechanism to cope with these stresses. The …

Being sessile in nature, plants have to withstand various adverse environmental stress
conditions including both biotic and abiotic stresses. Comparatively, abiotic stresses such as …

From 2006 through 2015, a research project on Durable Resistance in potato against
Phytophthora (DuRPh) was carried out at Wageningen University and Research Centre. Its …

Powdery mildews (PM) are common and severe pathogen groups that threaten plants, and
PM resistance is complex and polygenic in cucumbers. Previously mlo-based resistance …

Continuous pesticide usage has negative impacts on people and ecosystems associated
with coffee farms. Alternative plant protection strategies can be implemented that are …

Plants are resistant to most microbial species due to nonhost resistance (NHR), providing
broad-spectrum and durable immunity. However, the molecular components contributing to …

An influential explanation for global productivity differences is that frontier technologies are
adapted to the high-income, research-intensive countries that develop them and …

Pattern recognition receptors (PRR s) and nucleotide‐binding domain and leucine‐rich
repeat (LRR)‐containing proteins (NLR s) initiate pattern‐triggered immunity (PTI) and …

Throughout evolution, plants have developed diverse mechanisms of defense that “prime”
their innate immune system for more robust and active induction of defense responses …
