Jasmonate signaling plays an important role in both plant defense and development. Here,
we have identified a subunit of the Mediator complex as a regulator of the jasmonate …

Fusarium oxysporum is a root-infecting fungal pathogen that causes wilt disease on a broad
range of plant species, including the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Currently, very little …

Placental malaria is hypothesized to lead to placental insufficiency, which causes fetal
growth restriction (FGR). In this review, recent discoveries regarding the mechanisms of …

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration is increasingly affecting food
production but how plant diseases will influence production and quality of food under rising CO 2 …

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) exerts multiple effects on immune cells, as well
as having functions outside the immune system. MIF can promote inflammation through the …

It is hypothesized that the virulence of phytopathogenic fungi is mediated through the secretion
of small effector proteins that interfere with the defence responses of the host plant. In …

Malaria remains one of the greatest burdens to global health, causing nearly 500,000
deaths in 2014. When manifesting in the lungs, severe malaria causes acute lung injury/acute …

The LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES (LOB) DOMAIN (LBD) gene family encodes plant-specific
transcriptional regulators functioning in organ development. In a screen of Arabidopsis (…

Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc), is one of the
