Understanding Host-Pathogen Cross Talks and Strategies for Engineering Plants with Enhanced Resistance- a Review
Introduction Co-evolution phenomenon between plants and microbes has led to substantial positive and negative effects. The effects of microbes such as positive (mutualistic), neutral (commensalistic) or deleterious (pathogenic) impact on plant fitness [1] and interactions among them are bidirectional. In general, plants are invaded by different biotic stress factors such as insect-pests, pathogens and weed …
