Plant and Fungal Interactions Research

Plant and Fungal Interactions Research is a research topic within Endocrinology. Science Explorer counts 16k research works in it since 1950. 10.0% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the role of mycoviruses in fungal symbiosis and pathogenesis, particularly focusing on their interactions with plant pathogenic fungi, hypovirulence induction, RNA silencing mechanisms, and potential for biological control. It also delves into topics such as viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, horizontal gene transfer, endogenization of viral genomes, and the specific case study of chestnut blight caused by Cryphonectria parasitica.
