Read MoreSpecial issue: “A stressful life: how plants cope with multiple biotic and abiotic adverse factors”
In natural and agricultural ecosystems, plants quickly respond to abiotic and biotic stress factors, alone or in their conjunctions, by complex acclimatization processes and in the long-term by evolving adaptation strategies. Future climate extremes are expected to exacerbate the effects of (a)biotic stresses on plants and further increase the virulence and diffusion of the existing pests, negatively impacting crop yields and plant survival. Therefore, understanding plants’ resistance and resilience mechanisms to the effects of climate change are urgently needed. Among the developed and variegated range of plant responses able to…
Read MoreWebinar “Pathogenomics and Effectoromics of Verticillium Species”
We are pleased to invite you to attend the webinar entitled “Pathogenomics and Effectoromics of Verticillium Species”. It will be held on June 29th, 2021 from 16:00 to 18:00 CEST. Three estimated scientists will give interesting talks on general features of Verticillium wilts, fungus biology, and pathogenomics. We will understand why Verticillium spp. are so difficult to control, and will have a look at the main peculiarities of their population biology. Finally, we will learn about pathogen effectors that sabotage host machinery during the infection, and we will realize how…
