TL;DR: Five fungal isolates from zoysiagrass rhizosphere that promote plant growth were tested for their ability to induce systemic resistance in cucumber plants against Colletotrichum orbiculare, and Penicillium, Phoma and the sterile fungus significantly reduced the disease incidence of bacterial angular leaf spot.

TL;DR: Members of the Fusarium graminearum species complex are important cereal pathogens worldwide and belong to one of at least nine phylogenetically distinct species and trichothecene chemotype compositions of these species are revealed.

TL;DR: Comprehensive interrelationships among all the currently available MNR, BNR, and UNR groups and subgroups in GenBank were analyzed, showing the genetic relatedness among the different groups and indicating possible bridging groups between M NR, B NR, andUNR.

TL;DR: Examination of local and systemic gene expression revealed that GP17-2 and its CF modulate the expression of genes involved in both the SA and JA/ET signaling pathways, hypothesizing the involvement of multiple defense mechanisms leading to an ISR of Arabidopsis by GP 17-2.

TL;DR: Two novel volatile components capable of eliciting ISR that may be promising candidates in biological control strategy to protect plants from diseases are identified.
