Immunopathology of Airway Surface Liquid Dehydration Disease by Brandon W. Lewis, Sonika Patial, Yogesh Saini

“…In particular, the mucociliary escalator provides an effective mechanism for the continuous removal of inhaled insults including pathogens. Defects in the functioning of the mucociliary escalator compromise the mucociliary clearance (MCC) of inhaled pathogens, which favors microbial lung infection. …”

Durable resistance or efficient disease control? Adult Plant Resistance (APR) at the heart of the dilemma by Rimbaud, Loup, Papaïx, Julien, Rey, Jean-François, Moury, Benoît, Barrett, Luke G., Thrall, Peter H.

“…Adult plant resistance (APR) is an incomplete and delayed protection of plants against pathogens. At first glance, such resistance should be less efficient than classical major-effect resistance genes, which confer complete resistance from seedling stage, to reduce epidemics. …”
