TLDR
Enhancing the plant immunity against diseases caused by important plant pathogens by identifying and introducing the genes promoting the diseases resistance may serve as a good option in near future to control the plant disease for human welfare.Abstract:
Plant diseases are important challenge to agriculture worldwide. Annually millions of tons of agricultural produce are lost due to the actions of plants pathogens. Past historical evidences are available showing the great mass migration and death of humans caused by the disease outbreak. Currently, several measures have been adopted to control the loss of crop productivity caused by fungal diseases. Physical and chemical approaches have gained huge success in managing the plant diseases, but being costly and toxic to natural environment in most of the cases, these are not preferred by the farmers. Moreover, the use of agrochemicals to control the plant pathogens has evoked the phenomenon of pest resistance and thus aggravating the seriousness of plant diseases and loss of crop productivity. To minimize the risks of synthetic chemicals, biological control measures have been introduced to control the fast multiplication of several plant diseases; however, under natural environmental conditions, their efficiency is very much affected. Plant systems have evolved several mechanisms to deal with the encountered pathogens. Enhancing the plant immunity against diseases caused by important plant pathogens by identifying and introducing the genes promoting the diseases resistance may serve as a good option in near future to control the plant disease for human welfare.read more

Biological Control of Plant Pathogens: A Global Perspective
Rachid Lahlali,Said Ezrari,Nabil Radouane,Jihane Kenfaoui,Qassim Esmaeel,Hajar El Hamss,Zineb Belabess,Essaid Ait Barka +7 more
TL;DR: This review emphasizes the development of biofungicides products from screening to marketing and the problems that hinder their development and particular attention was given to the gaps observed in this sector and factors that hamper its development, particularly in terms of efficacy and legislation procedures.

N. Jazuli,Assis Kamu,Khim Phin Chong,Darmesah Gabda,Affendy Hassan,Idris Abu Seman,Chong Mun-Ho +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the BSR disease progression in oil palm is studied using the disease progression through the plant disease triangle idea, which looks at all potential elements that could affect the transmission and development of the disease.

Could Bacillus biofilms enhance the effectivity of biocontrol strategies in the phyllosphere?
TL;DR: This review analyzes the interactions that the phyllosphere‐inhabiting Bacillus genus establishes with its environment through biofilm, and how this lifestyle could serve to design effective biological control strategies.

The plant immune system
TL;DR: A detailed understanding of plant immune function will underpin crop improvement for food, fibre and biofuels production and provide extraordinary insights into molecular recognition, cell biology and evolution across biological kingdoms.

Stress-Induced Phenylpropanoid Metabolism.
Richard A. Dixon,Nancy L. Paiva +1 more
TL;DR: Limiting discussion to stress-induced phenylpropanoids eliminates few of the structural classes, because many compounds that are constitutive in one plant species or tissue can be induced by various stresses in another species or in another tissue of the same plant.

Crop losses to pests
TL;DR: Despite a clear increase in pesticide use, crop losses have not significantly decreased during the last 40 years, however, pesticide use has enabled farmers to modify production systems and to increase crop productivity without sustaining the higher losses likely to occur from an increased susceptibility to the damaging effect of pests.

Contrasting Mechanisms of Defense Against Biotrophic and Necrotrophic Pathogens
TL;DR: This review summarizes results from Arabidopsis-pathogen systems regarding the contributions of various defense responses to resistance to several biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens.

The oxidative burst in plant disease resistance
TL;DR: Emerging data indicate that the oxidative burst reflects activation of a membrane-bound NADPH oxidase closely resembling that operating in activated neutrophils, which underlies the expression of disease-resistance mechanisms.
