Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies ...

and biotic factors such as pathogens. Recent research has focused on understanding the complex signaling pathways and genetic mechanisms that enable plants to sense and respond to these stresses.

Recent research has focused on understanding the genetic and molecular basis of light signaling in fungi ... particularly in managing plant pathogens and understanding fungal behavior.

Biologists have identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism.

New research has identified crucial components and mechanisms of the plant immune system, potentially helping to develop ...

Our immune system controls cancer, our immune system is important for wound healing and our immune system also restricts bacterial pathogens.” Ledvina and Whiteley highlight four such types of ...

Jan. 22, 2025 — A new study has used a modelling approach to show that it is unlikely that plants would evolve to warn other plants of impending attack. Instead of using their communication ...
