• openAccess   Bacterial Endophytes: The Hidden Actor in Plant Immune Responses against Biotic Stress 

      OUKALA, Nadira; KAMEL, AISSAT; Pastor, Victoria MDPI (2021-05-19)
      Bacterial endophytes constitute an essential part of the plant microbiome and are described to promote plant health by different mechanisms. The close interaction with the host leads to important changes in the physiology ...
    • openAccess   The Botrytis cinerea Crh1 transglycosylase is a cytoplasmic effector triggering plant cell death and defense response 

      Bi, Kai; Scalschi, Loredana; Jaiswal, Namrata; Mengiste, Tesfaye; Fried, Renana; Sanz, A. Belen; Arroyo, Javier; Zhu, Wenjun; Masrati, Gal; Sharon, Amir Springer Nature (2021-04-12)
      Crh proteins catalyze crosslinking of chitin and glucan polymers in fungal cell walls. Here, we show that the BcCrh1 protein from the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea acts as a cytoplasmic effector and elicitor of ...
    • openAccess   The Role of ABA in Plant Immunity is Mediated through the PYR1 Receptor 

      García-Andrade, Javier; González, Beatriz; Gonzalez-Guzman, Miguel; Rodriguez, Pedro L.; Vera, Pablo MDPI (2020-08-11)
      ABA is involved in plant responses to a broad range of pathogens and exhibits complex antagonistic and synergistic relationships with salicylic acid (SA) and ethylene (ET) signaling pathways, respectively. However, the ...
