Researchers reveal more about the tit-for-tat evolutionary changes occurring in both potato plants and the pathogen that caused the 1840s Irish potato famine. In an examination of the genetic material ...

A research team has identified a key gene from the rubber tree that helps plants better defend themselves against both disease and environmental stress by precisely controlling reactive oxygen species ...

Uncovering the mechanisms behind plant defense signaling can improve strategies to protect crops against disease.

Scientists discovered genes in the tuberculosis bacterium that becomes essential for the pathogen's survival when it's exposed to air through coughing. These genes could be targets for new therapies ...

Salk Institute researchers find plants rapidly boost their immune systems during drought recovery, pinpointing potential genetic strategies for designing more drought-resistant crops LA JOLLA (August ...

Purdue University researchers found that a subset of epidermal cells in plant leaves serves as early responders to chemical cues from bacterial pathogens and communicate this information to neighbors ...
