Plants use sophisticated molecular machinery to distinguish friend from foe, co-exist with other organisms and defend against pathogens. Similarly, plant pathogens have evolved intricate strategies to ...

Pipeline for the generation of made-to-order functional Pikobodies. New technologies are currently being explored to protect our agriculturally important plants from invading pathogens. The advent of ...

Purdue University researchers found that a subset of epidermal cells in plant leaves serves as early responders to chemical cues from bacterial pathogens and communicate this information to neighbors ...

Rain does more than water a garden. Every time a drop lands on a leaf, something quietly remarkable happens inside the plant.

Scientists at the University of California, Davis, used artificial intelligence to help plants recognize a wider range of bacterial threats — which may lead to new ways to protect crops like tomatoes ...

An imported plant pathogen that will spread on the wind is being readied for release against one of Australia's worst weeds.

When pathogens attack plants, the plant cells almost immediately react. The plant's cells begin to produce different kinds of small molecules called secondary messengers. These messengers travel ...

Scientists from the Riken Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan have identified an ancient protein that, with modifications, could confer broad-spectrum protection for plants against ...

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we hear from a listener who has Marfan syndrome and dive into the complexities of the disease. Then we talk about pathogens that eat — or infiltrate! — plant ...

The research team led by Prof. Xueping Zhou from Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences/Zhejiang University published a research article entitled “A pathogen-induced translational shift enhances ...

Rows of meticulously tended grapevines sprawled across large vineyards, with a sweet, fruity aroma wafting through the air are classic features of America’s thriving wine industry. However, in the ...
