Leptosphaeria maculans is a phytopathogenic fungus responsible for stem canker on Brassica napus . Its infectious cycle goes through an early phase of leaf infection and a late phase of colonization a...

Plant ERAD machinery governs the turnover of auxin transporters involved in developmental and stress responses.

Root systems are essential for anchorage and for the uptake of water and nutrients. Their growth is tightly regulated through coordinated processes such as
