The apoplast is one of the first cellular compartments outside the plasma membrane that
phytopathogenic microbes encounter in the early stages of plant tissue invasion. Plants …

Peptide hormones are defined as small secreted polypeptide-based intercellular
communication signal molecules. Such peptide hormones are encoded by nuclear genes …

Wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV), a soil-borne pathogen, poses a serious threat to global
wheat production. Here, we identify a WYMV resistance gene, TaRD21A, that belongs to the …

Calcium and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are two of the earliest second messengers in
response to environmental stresses in plants. The rise and sequestration of these …

Tomato is a globally important horticultural and economic crop, but its productivity is
severely affected by various stresses. Plant small secretory peptides have been identified as …

Abstract Isodon rubescens (Hemsley) H. Hara (Lamiaceae) is a traditional Chinese
medicine plant that has been used to treat various human diseases. Oridonin is one of the …

Cannabis sativa L. has been long cultivated for its narcotic potential due to the accumulation
of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) in female inflorescences, but nowadays its …

PAMP-induced secreted peptide (PIP), one of the small post-translationally modified
peptides (PTMPs), plays a crucial role in plant development and stress tolerance. However …

Small peptides represent a subset of dark matter in plant proteomes. Through differential
expression patterns and modes of action, small peptides act as important regulators of plant …

Cellular damage inflicted by wounding, pathogen infection, and herbivory releases a variety
of host-derived metabolites, degraded structural components, and peptides into the …
