Powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera macularis, is one of the most important diseases of hop in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Resistant cultivars exist; however, recently, the pathogen has overcome two sources of resistance in popular ...

A role for jasmonates in the release of dormancy by cold stratification in wheat [PDF]
Hydration at low temperatures, commonly referred to as cold stratification, is widely used for releasing dormancy and triggering germination in a wide range of species including wheat.

Metabolic analysis of the interaction between plants and herbivores [PDF]
Insect herbivores by necessity have to deal with a large arsenal of plant defence metabolites. The levels of defence compounds may be increased by insect damage.

Regulation of hormone pathways in wheat infested by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici
Background Wheat powdery mildew is an obligate biotrophic pathogen infecting wheat, which can pose a serious threat to wheat production. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was carried out on wheat leaves infected by Blumeria graminis f. sp.

Effects of elevated [CO2 ] on maize defence against mycotoxigenic Fusarium verticillioides. [PDF]
Maize is by quantity the most important C4 cereal crop; however, future climate changes are expected to increase maize susceptibility to mycotoxigenic fungal pathogens and reduce productivity. While rising atmospheric [CO2 ] is a driving force behind the

Differential effects of jasmonic acid treatment of Brassica nigra on the attraction of pollinators, parasitoids, and butterflies [PDF]
Herbivore-induced plant defences influence the behaviour of herbivores as well as that of their natural enemies. Jasmonic acid is one of the key hormones involved in both these direct and indirect induced defences.

HSP17.4 mediates salicylic acid and jasmonic acid pathways in the regulation of resistance to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in strawberry [PDF]
AbstractIn this study, we used virus‐mediated gene silencing technology and found that the HSP17.4 gene‐silenced cultivar Sweet Charlie plants were more susceptible to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides than the wild‐type Sweet Charlie, and the level of infection was even higher than that of the susceptible cultivar Benihopp.

Integration of Transcriptomics and Metabolomics Reveals that Salicylic Acid Alleviates Postharvest Chilling Injury in Plum Fruit by Regulating Lipid Metabolism [PDF]
In this study, we investigated the potential mechanism through which salicylic acid (SA) reduces chilling injury (CI) index in plum fruit from the perspective of lipid metabolism.
