microbe-associated molecular patterns (mamps) play key roles as activators of the innate immune response in animals and, analogously, as elicitors of defense responses in plants. however, there are not much investigations concerning their real importance in plant resistance against pathogens. here we used derivatives of flagellin and ef-tu as two well-known mamps against some important fungal a...

A contemporary goal in both ecology and evolutionary biology is to develop theory that transcends the boundary between the two disciplines, to understand phenomena that cannot be explained by either field in isolation. This is challenging because macroevolution typically uses lineage-based models, whereas ecology often focuses on individual organisms. Here, we develop a new parsimonious individ...
