Root pathogens, such asFusarium oxysporum, are of particular interest as these can be controlled byeffective plant defense mechanisms or by biocontrol microbes. This chapterreviews recent findings of plant defe
Several signaling elements that are induced by pathogens include SA, JA, and ET. SA-and ET/JA-mediated signaling pathways play important roles in plant resistance against pathogens56. The SA signaling pathway controls plant defense mechanisms against biotrophic pathogens, whereas the ET/JA pathways ...
Over the course of millions of years, organisms have developed sophisticated defence mechanisms against pathogens to survive. Although less is known compared to the animalimmune system, the plant immune system is equally sophisticated and effective to defend plants from a wide variety of invaders. Pl...
Salicylic acid (SA) is widely recognized as a key player in plant immunity. While several proteins have been previously identified as the direct targets of SA, SA-mediated plant defense signaling mechanisms remain unclear. TheNaturepaper from Xinnian Dong's group demonstrates that the NPR1 paralogue...
The hypersensitive reaction to a pathogen is one of the most efficient defense mechanisms in nature and leads to the induction of numerous plant genes encoding defense proteins. These proteins include: 1) structural proteins that are incorporated into the extracellular matrix and participate in the co...
primarily through extracellular vesicles, to pathogens in order to suppress virulence-related genes. In this review, we summarize contemporary knowledge on epigenetic mechanisms of plant defense against attack by pathogenic fungi. The role of epigenetic mechanisms during plant-fungus symbiotic interactions ...

Finally, the biosynthesis pathways of secondary metabolites, including volatile sesquiterpenes, non-volatile lignans, and some lignins, are upregulated to promote the production of these metabolites in the plant’s defense against pathogens. The ETI system may be an auxiliary defense mechanism, and ...
Stomata-targeted nanocarriers enhance plant defense against pathogen colonization Stomata are key entry points for plant pathogens. Here, the authors engineer stomata-targeted nanoparticles to reduce bacterial colonization while preserving stomatal function, enabling a more precise strategy to enhance crop defe...
