Pathogens hitting the plant cell wall is the first impetus that triggers the phenylpropanoid
pathway for plant defense. The phenylpropanoid pathway bifurcates into the production of …

Filamentous fungi constitute a large group of eukaryotic microorganisms that grow by
forming simple tube-like hyphae that are capable of differentiating into more-complex …

Crop protection chemistry has come a long way from its “alchemic” beginnings in the late
19th century to a high-tech science that supports the sustainable production of food, feed …

The cell wall is a dynamic structure that often determines the outcome of the interactions
between plants and pathogens. It is a barrier that pathogens need to breach to colonize the …

The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae uses a pressurized infection cell called an
appressorium to drive a rigid penetration peg through the leaf cuticle. The vast internal …

Many plant pathogenic fungi have the capacity to infect their plant hosts using specialised
cells called appressoria. These structures act as a gateway between the fungus and host …

▪ Abstract The blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea causes a serious disease on a wide variety
of grasses including rice, wheat, and barley. Rice blast is the most serious disease of …

Over the previous two decades, a diverse array of geochemical negative emissions
technologies (NETs) have been proposed, which use alkaline minerals for removing and …

Fungi cause severe diseases on a broad range of crop and ornamental plants, leading to
significant economical losses. Plant pathogenic fungi exhibit a huge variability in their mode …

Melanins are enigmatic pigments that are produced by a wide variety of microorganisms
including several species of pathogenic bacteria, fungi and helminthes. The study of …
