Special Issue “Plant–Pathogen Interactions 2.0”

Key Points

• Disease susceptibility is influenced by dynamic interactions between pathogens and plant defenses, and it evolves in response to microbial attack.
• Critical molecular events determine the outcome of plant-pathogen interactions, impacting resistance mechanisms in plants.
• Observational analysis of pathogenesis reveals details of how various pathogens evade plant defenses and trigger disease.
• This knowledge may enable the development of better strategies for managing plant diseases and enhancing crop resilience.
