Danger signals trigger immune responses upon perception by a complex surveillance
system. Such signals can originate from the infectious nonself or the damaged self, the latter …

Plants in nature are constantly exposed to organisms that touch them and wound them. A
highly conserved response to these stimuli is a rapid collapse of membrane potential (ie a …

The plant immune system protects against pests and diseases. The recognition of stress‐
related molecular patterns triggers localised immune responses, which are often followed by …

Recognition and repair of damaged tissue are an integral part of life. The failure of cells and
tissues to appropriately respond to damage can lead to severe dysfunction and disease …

Plant defense responses against insect herbivores are induced through wound-induced
signaling and the specific perception of herbivore-associated molecular patterns (HAMPs) …

Insects are associated with a plethora of different microbes of which we are only starting to
understand their role in shaping insect–plant interactions. Besides directly benefitting from …

Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are an ancient form of tissue-derived
danger or alarm signals that initiate cellular signaling cascades, which often initiate defined …

Throughout their life span, plants confront an endless barrage of pathogens and pests. To
successfully defend against biotic threats, plants have evolved a complex immune system …

Immune responses in plants can be triggered by damage/microbe-associated molecular
patterns (DAMPs/MAMPs) upon recognition by plant pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) …

The inhibitory effect of extracellular DNA (exDNA) on the growth of conspecific individuals
was demonstrated in different kingdoms. In plants, the inhibition has been observed on root …
