The rhizosphere: a playground and battlefield for soilborne pathogens and beneficial microorganisms [PDF]
, 2009 The rhizosphere is a hot spot of microbial interactions as exudates released by plant roots are a main food source for microorganisms and a driving force of their population density and activities.

Microbial effectors target multiple steps in the salicylic acid production and signaling pathway
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Microbes attempting to colonize plants are recognized through the plant immune surveillance system. This leads to a complex array of global as well as specific defense responses, which are often associated with plant cell death and subsequent arrest of ...

Scent of a Killer: Microbial Volatilome and Its Role in the Biological Control of Plant Pathogens
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The use of synthetic fungicides represents the most common strategy to control plant pathogens. Excessive and/or long-term distribution of chemicals is responsible for increased levels of environmental pollution, as well as adverse health consequence to ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2017 ABSTRACT Fungi are among the dominant causal agents of plant diseases. To colonize plants and cause disease, pathogenic fungi use diverse strategies. Some fungi kill their hosts and feed on dead material (necrotrophs), while others colonize the living tissue (biotrophs).

Host switching and geographic expansions in (hemi)biotrophic plant pathogens
, 2023 While it is increasingly well understood how plants and animals spread around the world, and how they diversify and occupy new niches, such knowledge is fairly limited for fungi and oomycetes.

The evolution of virulence and pathogenicity in plant pathogen populations [PDF]
Molecular Plant Pathology, 2008 SUMMARY The term virulence has a conflicting history among plant pathologists. Here we define virulence as the degree of damage caused to a host by parasite infection, assumed to be negatively correlated with host fitness, and pathogenicity the qualitative capacity of a parasite to infect and cause disease on a host. Selection may act
