Changes produced in extra-virgin olive oils from cv. Coratina during a prolonged storage treatment
Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2014 Extra-virgin oil is obtained from olive fruits only by mechanical means. The quality of extra-virgin olive oils is affected mainly by hydrolytic and oxidative reactions. For this reason, the commercial shelf-life is usually no longer than 18 months.

Pathogenesis-Related Proteins (PRs) with Enzyme Activity Activating Plant Defense Responses
Plants, 2023 Throughout evolution, plants have developed a highly complex defense system against different threats, including phytopathogens. Plant defense depends on constitutive and induced factors combined as defense mechanisms.

Impacts of nitrogen on plant disease severity and plant defense mechanism
Fundamental and Applied Agriculture, 2020 Nitrogen(N) is considered the most important factor to help the growth and development of plants. This is the building block for plant protoplasm and the chlorophyll molecule component for the photosynthesis process as well.

An effector of the Irish potato famine pathogen antagonizes a host autophagy cargo receptor [PDF]
, 2016 Plants use autophagy to safeguard against infectious diseases. However, how plant pathogens interfere with autophagy-related processes is unknown. Here, we show that PexRD54, an effector from the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans, binds

Tetranychus evansi spider mite populations suppress tomato defenses to varying degrees
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Plant defense suppression is an offensive strategy of herbivores, in which they manipulate plant physiological processes to increase their performance. Paradoxically, defense suppression does not always benefit the defense‐suppressing herbivores, because
