These include generating a positive relationship between complementarity and plant richness (a), a negative relationship with predicted plant-soil feedback (b) and a positive relationship with expected pathogen dilution (c). In (a), lines indicate group medians, box edges indicate 25th and 75th ...
The plant immune system is composed of successive layers of passive and active barriers that provide resistance to pathogens12. Passive barriers include the cuticle and cell wall, whereas active barriers include reactive oxygen species, secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity, lignification of the...
The Bayesian analysis was conducted using the following substitution models: dirichlet (1,1,1,1) state frequency distributions were used for all loci except for CHS-1 which had a fixed (equal) state frequency distribution; for ITS the model was HKY with a proportion of invariable sites allowed...

Following 2 hr of infection, we collected RNA-seq data from matched non-infected and infected samples, for a total of 525 RNA-seq profiles across individual-treatment combinations (mean = 36 million reads per sample; see the STAR Methods; Figure S1A). Each individual was genotyped for over ...
These include the need for high levels of sensitivity as well as specificity, coupled with quantitative, multiplex capabilities and high sample throughput. The assay system described in this report incorporates the most attractive features of several approaches to provide a unique detection platform that...
dahliae in cotton include the necrosis on leaves, wilting, and the discoloration of vascular tissues. Plants infected with V. dahliae often develop characteristic mosaic patterns (leaves wilt with inter-veinal yellowing before becoming necrotic) [4]. Light to dark brown vascular discoloration is ...
In other regions of the world, studies carried out to estimate the exposure of wildlife to livestock and zoonotic pathogens include commonly large sample sizes per species and long-term approaches. These may provide a more accurate understanding of disease epidemiology, allowing the identification of ...
(Ascomycota phylum, Sordariomycetes class) include aggressive pathogenic fungal species, which attack an array of economically important plant species worldwide. These pathogens cause the diseases Ceratocystis wilt and canker, which often kill the host plants, causing significant losses to farmers and ...
S1). Amino acids in the petals did not differ significantly throughout periods of low and high disease incidence except for glutamic acid and proline, the content of which decreased significantly during the period of microbial community collapse and high gray mold disease incidence. In contrast, ...
