Blackleg disease, caused by the hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen , poses a serious threat to crops and requires a broad understanding of the plant defence mechanisms. The - pathosystem provides a useful model to understand plant resistance response to hemibiotrophs. This review aims to explain the mechanisms underlying interaction, signalling cascades, and the hypersensitive response (HR) produced by towards , causing local cell death that restricts the pathogen to the site of infection.

- Nitrogen is crucial for plant growth and enhancing its biological fixation in leguminous crops like Arachis hypogaea (peanut) is essential for sustainable agriculture.
- This study successfully identified 42 nod inducing genes in Arachis hypogaea for the first time, utilizing various analyses such as phylogenetic clustering and promoter region assessment.
- The findings provide insights into the evolutionary relationships of these genes and their potential roles in biological nitrogen fixation, paving the way for future research in agricultural practices.
is an important enzyme of the phenylpropanoid pathway, regulating the production of several biologically active stilbenoids. These compounds have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. However, the detailed characterization of genes in has not yet been performed.
