Understanding symptom patterns, diagnostic tools, and cultural practices can help keep soilborne pathogens in check.

Every season brings a new slate of plant pathogens to our Florida lawns and gardens. Luckily, there are many tactics we can employ to help reduce their impact. Florida generally has a warm, humid ...

While you might be itching to get out in the garden once a heavy storm passes, it's best to wait a bit. You could be doing more harm than good otherwise.

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we hear from a listener who has Marfan syndrome and dive into the complexities of the disease. Then we talk about pathogens that eat — or infiltrate! — plant ...

St. Paul, Minn. (September 1, 2006) -- Although plant pathogens are typically viewed as detrimental, plant pathologists with the American Phytopathological Society (APS) say plant pathogens may be a ...

The study was conducted in a grassland on the UC Santa Cruz campus known as the “Great Meadow.” (Photo by Gregory Gilbert) Researchers grew a selection of 44 wild plant species with no previous ...

How do evolutionarily conserved pathogen effectors maintain structural stability while engaging diverse host targets? In a new study published in Molecular Plant Microbe Interactions, researchers at ...

The fungus Fusarium xylarioides causes wilt in coffee plants, ultimately killing them. By studying their genetics, scientists hope to better understand and prevent this disease.

While water lilies are perhaps most famous for starring in French impressionist artist Claude Monet’s work, they may also have a molecular secret weapon that could help in our ongoing fight against ...

Biologists have discovered how a pathogenic fungus can bypass the immune system of plants. By releasing an 'effector' molecule, it avoids elimination at a critical stage in its reproduction cycle.
