Dr. Fu and his lab recently published an article in Molecular Plant entitled "Pandemonium Breaks Out: Disruption of Salicylic Acid-Mediated Defense by Plant Pathogens". This review highlights the strategies deployed by plant pathogens to disrupt plant defense and the importance of salicylic acid in plant defense against biotrophic and semi-biotrophic pathogens A deeper understanding of this topic will greatly expand our knowledge of how plant pathogens cause diseases and consequently pave the way for the development of more effective ways to control these diseases.
