Characterization of a source of resistance to aflatoxin accumulation in maize
Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2021 Aflatoxinproduced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus (Link:Fr) can accumulate in maize (Zea mays L.) and poses serious human health and economic concerns, especially in sub‐Saharan Africa. Genetic resistance against A.

Genes and genetic mechanisms contributing to fall armyworm resistance in maize
The Plant Genome, 2023 Maize (Zea mays L.) is a crop of major economic and food security importance globally. The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, can devastate entire maize crops, especially in countries or markets that do not allow the use of transgenic crops ...

The plant-pathogen haustorial interface at a glance [PDF]
, 2020 Many filamentous pathogens invade plant cells through specialized hyphae called haustoria. These infection structures are enveloped by a newly synthesized plant-derived membrane called the extrahaustorial membrane (EHM).

Plant Host Finding by Parasitic Plants [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2006 Plants release airborne chemicals that can convey ecologically relevant information to other organisms. These plant volatiles are known to mediate a large array of, often complex, interactions between plants and insects. It has been suggested that plant volatiles may have similar importance in mediating interactions among plant species, but there are ...

Specificity of salt marsh diazotrophs for vegetation zones and plant hosts
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Salt marshes located on the east coast of temperate North America are highly productive, typically nitrogen-limited, and support diverse assemblages of nitrogen fixing (diazotrophic) bacteria.
