Methods Mol Biol
. 2019 Nov;
2085:93-108.
PMID: 31734919
Thrips are tiny, cell-content-feeding insects that are a major pest on crops and ornamentals. Besides causing direct feeding damage, thrips may also cause indirect damage by vectoring tospoviruses. Novel resistance...

PMID: 30547240
In this genome-wide association study, we obtained novel insights into the genetic basis of the effect of herbivory or drought stress on the level of resistance against the fungus Botrytis...

PLoS One
. 2018 Nov;
13(11):e0206103.
PMID: 30399182
Whiteflies are among the world's most significant agricultural pests and chemical insecticides are extensively used to reduce crop damage to acceptable levels. However, nearly all insecticides pose a threat to...

Front Immunol
. 2018 Oct;
9:2223.
PMID: 30319660
Modern animal and crop production practices are associated with the regular use of antimicrobials, potentially increasing selection pressure on bacteria to become resistant. Alternative approaches are needed in order to...

Proietti S, Caarls L, Coolen S, van Pelt J, Van Wees S, Pieterse C
Plant Cell Environ
. 2018 Jun;
41(10):2342-2356.
PMID: 29852537
Jasmonic acid (JA) regulates plant defenses against necrotrophic pathogens and insect herbivores. Salicylic acid (SA) and abscisic acid (ABA) can antagonize JA-regulated defenses, thereby modulating pathogen or insect resistance. We...

J Exp Bot
. 2018 Mar;
69(8):1837-1848.
PMID: 29490080
Plants have developed diverse defence mechanisms to ward off herbivorous pests. However, agriculture still faces estimated crop yield losses ranging from 25% to 40% annually. These losses arise not only...

Plant Cell
. 2017 Aug;
29(9):2086-2105.
PMID: 28827376
Jasmonic acid (JA) is a critical hormonal regulator of plant growth and defense. To advance our understanding of the architecture and dynamic regulation of the JA gene regulatory network, we...

Plant Signal Behav
. 2017 Jul;
12(8):e1345404.
PMID: 28692334
We recently found that the beneficial fungus Trichoderma harzianum T-78 primes tomato plants for salicylic acid (SA)- and jasmonic acid (JA)-regulated defenses, resulting in enhanced resistance against the root knot...

Plant Cell Environ
. 2017 Jul;
40(11):2691-2705.
PMID: 28667819
Root colonization by Trichoderma fungi can trigger induced systemic resistance (ISR). In Arabidopsis, Trichoderma-ISR relies on the transcription factor MYB72, which plays a dual role in the onset of ISR...

PMID: 28559899
Atmospheric CO influences plant growth and stomatal aperture. Effects of high or low CO levels on plant disease resistance are less well understood. Here, resistance of against the foliar pathogen...
