Response of Fungal Communities to Anthropogenic Disturbances in a Tropical Forest
ABSTRACT Conversion of forests to agricultural land leads to a decline in soil biodiversity and it affects the ecosystem services that they provide. The rising population around Mt. Kenya forest and an increase in demand for land and forest resources has led to deforestation. However, the impact on fungal communities remains unknown.

Upon Erysiphe quercicola infection, rubber HbWRKY29 is rapidly induced and physically interacts with HbPTI5 to trigger HR. HbWRKY29 binds the HbPTI5 promoter (W‐box), enhancing HbPTI5 expression, which activates HbTLP1 expression, leading to reinforced defence.

Poplar miR1447 Is a Negative Regulator of Disease Resistance Through the SA‐Dependent Pathway
ABSTRACT Although microRNA1447 (miR1447) regulates poplar responses to abiotic stress and pest infestation, how miR1447 regulates poplar immunity against pathogens and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Here, we revealed that miR1447 functioned as a negative regulator of poplar disease resistance against fungal and bacterial ...
