Trichoderma is a cosmopolitan and opportunistic ascomycete fungal genus including
species that are of interest to agriculture as direct biological control agents of …

Understanding the plant immune system is crucial for using genetics to protect crops from
diseases. Plants resist pathogens via a two-tiered innate immune detection-and-response …

The increase in the world population has generated an important need for both quality and
quantity agricultural products, which has led to a significant surge in the use of chemical …

Disruption of susceptibility (S) genes in crops is an attractive breeding strategy for conferring
disease resistance,. However, S genes are implicated in many essential biological functions …

Rhizosphere filamentous fungi of the genus Trichoderma, a dominant component of various
soil ecosystem mycobiomes, are characterized by the ability to colonize plant roots. Detailed …

Inflammation is an integral part of animal biology. It provides critical protection from adverse
environmental factors by enforcing the defense of homeostasis and the functional and …

The innate immune system detects pathogens via germline-encoded receptors that bind to
conserved pathogen ligands called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Here …

RNA silencing is a well-established antiviral immunity system in plants, in which small RNAs
guide Argonaute proteins to targets in viral RNA or DNA, resulting in virus repression. Virus …

Plants deploy cell-surface and intracellular leucine rich-repeat domain (LRR) immune
receptors to detect pathogens. LRR receptor kinases and LRR receptor proteins at the …

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptor-mediated immunity includes rapid
production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and transcriptional reprogramming, which is …
