Flavonoids are widely distributed secondary metabolites with different metabolic functions in
plants. The elucidation of the biosynthetic pathways, as well as their regulation by MYB …

Members of the genus Phytophthora are among the most serious threats to agriculture and
food production, causing devastating diseases in hundreds of plant hosts. These fungus-like …

Introduction: Plants do not grow in isolation, rather they are hosts to a variety of microbes in
their natural environments. While, few thrive in the plants for their own benefit, others may …

Yield stability of legume crops is constrained by a number of pest and diseases. Major
diseases are rusts, powdery and downy mildews, ascochyta blights, botrytis gray molds …

Plants in their natural habitats are surrounded by a large number of microorganisms. Some
microbes directly interact with plants in a mutually beneficial manner whereas others …

Gene expression analysis requires the use of reference genes constitutively expressed
independently of tissues or environmental conditions. Housekee** genes (eg, actin …

Transcription factors (TFs) are DNA-binding proteins that interact with other transcriptional
regulators, including chromatin remodeling/modifying proteins, to recruit or block access of …

An emerging group of proteins found in many plant pathogens are related to their ability to
cause plant cell death. These proteins may be identified by the presence of a common NPP1 …

Cyst nematodes of the genus Heterodera are obligate, sedentary endoparasites that have
developed highly evolved relationships with specific host plant species. Successful …
