To guard against herbivorous insects, some plants use a layer ... overlap between herbivore and pathogen resistance, a number of uniquely anti-pathogenic defenses exist (Lambers et al.

Biologists have uncovered a surprising connection between the way plants grow and how they defend themselves against ...

Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies against such pathogens, understanding the plant's immune response is of ...

Plant defenses against herbivores can be classified into ... protect plants from some natural enemies (e.g., herbivores and pathogens). Studies testing this hypothesis often create high- and ...

4 Their activation leads to active defense responses that assist ... biology approaches to revolutionize plant resistance against diverse pathogens. 9 Spatial and single-cell technologies are ...

To protect against pathogens, plants can reduce IAA's impact ... Those four seemed to be exceptionally good at getting past the plants' defenses. But were those bacteria getting past the defenses ...

Plant defense against herbivory or host-plant resistance (HPR) describes a range of adaptations evolved by plants which improve their survival and reproduction by reducing the impact of herbivores.

Under low-phosphorus conditions, the researchers found plants release a hormone that prompts symbiotic fungi to secrete large quantities of short-chain chitin oligomers. These molecules are recognized ...

Pathogens are disease-causing viruses, bacteria, fungi or protists, which can infect animals and plants. Humans have an immune system, which can defend them from pathogens. Treating, curing and ...
