TL;DR: Investigating the biological functions of two members of the less studied IXb subgroup of the ethylene response factor family in Arabidopsis thaliana suggests that ERF5 and ERF6 play positive but redundant roles in defense against B. cinerea and may also play a role in the antagonistic crosstalk between the JA/Et and SA signalling pathways.

TL;DR: Recent insights into co-infection systems focusing on the dynamics of host-multi-pathogen interactions and the implications for host susceptibility/resistance are reviewed.

TL;DR: SFR6/MED16 controls both SA- and JA-mediated defence gene expression and is necessary for tolerance of Pseudomonas syringae infection and UV-C irradiation and is likely to mediate transcriptional activation of specific regulons only.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that paired-end Solexa sequencing can successfully capture coding regions of a filamentous fungal genome and presents a significant resource for examining the bases for P. Teres f.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first genome assembly for Pyrenophora teres f. teres was reported based solely on short Solexa sequencing reads of isolate 0-1, and the total assembly was 41.95 Mbp and contained 11,799 gene models of 50 amino acids or more.
