Plant resource allocation patterns often reveal tradeoffs that favor growth (G) over defense
(D), or vice versa. Ecologists most often explain G–D tradeoffs through principles of …

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 …

Metacaspases are cysteine proteases that are present in plants, protists, fungi, and bacteria.
Previously, we found that physical damage, eg, pinching with forceps or grinding on liquid …

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

The sensing of abiotic stress, mechanical injury or pathogen attack by a single plant tissue
results in the activation of systemic signals that travel from the affected tissue to the entire …

Systemic acquired acclimation and wound signaling require the transmission of electrical,
calcium, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) signals between local and systemic tissues of …

Plant growth is mediated by cell proliferation and expansion. Both processes are controlled
by a network of endogenous factors such as phytohormones, reactive oxygen species …

To successfully survive, develop, grow and reproduce, multicellular organisms must
coordinate their molecular, physiological, developmental and metabolic responses among …

In environmental conditions, plants are affected by abiotic and biotic stressors which can be
heterogenous. This means that the systemic plant adaptive responses on their actions …

In agriculture, chitosan has become popular as a metabolic enhancer; however, no deep
information has been obtained yet regarding its mechanisms on vegetative tissues. This …
