Plants defend themselves from most microbial attacks via mechanisms including cell wall
fortification, production of antimicrobial compounds, and generation of reactive oxygen …

Main conclusion Maize produces an array of herbivore-induced terpene volatiles that attract
parasitoids to infested plants and a suite of pathogen-induced non-volatile terpenoids with …

Maize is one of the world's most important food crops, but its cultivation is hampered by
diseases. Rapid disease identification remains a challenge due to a lack of the necessary …

Identifying corn diseases under field conditions is crucial for implementing effective disease
management systems. Deep learning (DL)-based plant disease identification using deep …

Northern leaf blight (NLB) can cause severe yield loss in maize; however, scouting large
areas to accurately diagnose the disease is time consuming and difficult. We demonstrate a …

Annual reductions in corn (Zea mays L.) yield caused by diseases were estimated by
university Extension-affiliated plant pathologists in 26 corn-producing states in the United …

The taxonomy of Colletotrichum has undergone profound changes over the past decade,
with ca. 340 species now recognised, and grouped into 20 species complexes (16 …

Objectives Automated detection and quantification of plant diseases would enable more
rapid gains in plant breeding and faster scouting of farmers' fields. However, it is difficult for a …

Broad-spectrum resistance has great values for crop breeding. However, its mechanisms
are largely unknown. Here, we report the cloning of a maize NLR gene, RppK, for resistance …

Mycotoxins contaminate crops worldwide and play a role in animal health and performance.
Multiple mycotoxins may co-occur which may increase the impact on the animal. To assess …
