Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, an emerging fungus affecting subtropical regions, and analyzes the genetic diversity and virulence of 36 isolates from eastern and northeastern states using UP-PCR and SSR techniques.
- The results show that most isolates (77.78%) are moderately virulent, while a smaller percentage exhibited high and low virulence levels, with specific DNA bands correlating to increased disease severity.
- Genetic analysis reveals significant diversity among the isolates, with the Nagaland population showing the highest diversity metrics, indicating strong genetic admixture within geographic populations.
As sessile organisms, plants have developed sophisticated system to defend themselves against microbial attack. Since plants do not have specialized immune cells, all plant cells appear to have the innate ability to recognize pathogens and turn on an appropriate defense response. The plant innate immune system has two major branches: PAMPs (pathogen associated molecular patterns)-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI).
