Plant-Pathogen Interaction

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...

Trichoderma–plant–pathogen interactions

Biological control involves the use of beneficial organisms, their genes, and/or products, such as metabolites, that reduce the negative effects of plant pathogens and promote positive responses by the plant. Disease suppression, as mediated by biocontrol agents, is the consequence of the interactions between the plant, pathogens, and the microbial community. Antagonists belonging to the genus ...
