Soilborne fungal pathogens cause devastating yield losses, are highly persistent and difficult to control. To culminate infection, these organisms must cope with limited availability of iron.

Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is one of the most representative species of these ecosystems and this abiotic stress causes a high tree mortality rate, being more accused a...
