Are ineffective defence reactions potential target for induced resistance during the compatible wheat-powdery mildew interaction?

TL;DR: The results indicated that B. graminis infection adversely affected the performance of S. avenae in wheat through restricted nutrition and induced defense response, and the preference of parasitoids in such an interactive environment might provide an important basis for pest management control.

TL;DR: The results reveal the relevance of primary plant metabolism and defense responses during compatible interaction, and provide new insights into the biology of susceptible wheat in response to Bgt infection.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of ulvan, a water-soluble polysaccharide from the green seaweed Ulva fasciata, to provide protection and induce resistance in wheat against the hemibiotrophic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici was examined.

TL;DR: Overall a similarity in Z. tritici infection process and triggered wheat defense pathways on both pathosystems is revealed.

TL;DR: This study is the first report on the successful use of VIGS to investigate genes involved in wheat-insect interactions and implies that WKRY53 and PAL play key roles in generating a successful resistance response.

TL;DR: This comprehensive treatise edited by Belanger et al. provides an in-depth examination of powdery mildews, covering their biology, ecology, epidemiology, and management, with a focus on their impact on plant health and agricultural productivity.
