BACKGROUND: Sitobion avenae (F.) and Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) are harmful pests of wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.)]. No genetic resistance against the aphids has been identified in commercial wheat varieties and resistance phenotyping can be time-consum...

Plant disease is the lasting departure from the normal physiological functioning of a plant caused by a pathogen interfering with the metabolism of its host for the purposes of nutrition acquisition, reproduction, and survival. The effects of disease... Read More about Effects of pathogens and disease on plant physiology.

Background: Raising global temperatures limit crop productivity and new strategies are needed to improve the resilience of thermosensitive crops such as potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Biostimulants are emerging as potential crop protection products a...
