Environment-Pathogen Interaction in Plant Diseases

Basic insight in plant-pathogen interaction

The molecular mechanisms involved in the perception, signaling and response in plant-pathogen interactions are major elements in the study of true resistance or susceptibility. As yet, there is no clear idea on what is really happening during certain molecular events. Nevertheless, this new insight offers us the possible answers to many questions on this topic. In this review, we deal with the ...

LECTURE NOTE PLANT – PATHOGEN INTERACTION The mode of attack of plant by plant pathogens

Plants exist in a world filled with microorganism. They continue to grow in the same location throughout the growing season or for many years, as in the case of perennial plants. Their surfaces are constantly exposed to bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and possibly parasitic plants. They may be inoculated with viruses during feeding by insects or by other vectors. Plant pathogens have made many adap...

Host pathogen interaction at the plant cell wall

Interaction between genes and environment in neurodegenerative diseases.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are highly prevalent disorders that account for a large part of the global burden of neurodegenerative diseases. Most AD and PD cases occur sporadically and it is generally agreed that they could arise through interactions among genetic and environmental factors. Candidate genes involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics, neurodegeneration an...
