Editorial: Plant Responses to Phytophagous Mites/Thrips and Search for Resistance

Plant Resistance Responses to Viruses

Plants have developed numerous approaches to resist infection by viruses. On the other hand, in many instances viruses have evolved to overcome these various resistance responses and barriers. The extent to which viruses can overcome some or all of these responses and barriers determines the extent to which they are able to colonize plants of a given genotype or species. Resistance against plan...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Editorial: Plant responses to bacterial quorum sensing molecules

Citation: Hartmann A and Schikora A (2015) Editorial: Plant responses to bacterial quorum sensing molecules. Since the discovery of the phenomenon in the 70s and the introduction of the term two decades later (Nealson et al., 1970; Fuqua and Winans, 1994), our knowledge about quorum sensing (QS) in bacterial populations has reached a quite high level. Moreover, throughout the last years progres...

Corn grain yield responses to tillage systems and plant densities

Induced systemic resistance and plant responses to fungal biocontrol agents.

Biocontrol fungi (BCF) are agents that control plant diseases. These include the well-known Trichoderma spp. and the recently described Sebacinales spp. They have the ability to control numerous foliar, root, and fruit pathogens and even invertebrates such as nematodes. However, this is only a subset of their abilities. We now know that they also have the ability to ameliorate a wide range of a...
