Plant–pathogen interactions induce a signal transmission series that stimulates the plant's
host defense system against pathogens and this, in turn, leads to disease resistance …

Jasmonic acid (JA) or methyl jasmonate (MeJA) are master regulators of plant development
and stress response against pathogens and environmental fluctuations. Thus, JA is an …

Transcriptional regulation is a central process in plant immunity. The induction or repression
of defense genes is orchestrated by signaling networks that are directed by plant hormones …

Transcription factors belonging to the APETALA 2/Ethylene R esponsive F actor (AP 2/ERF)
family are conservatively widespread in the plant kingdom. These regulatory proteins are …

Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

Plants synthesize jasmonates (JAs) in response to developmental cues or environmental
stresses, in order to coordinate plant growth, development or defense against pathogens …

Abstract ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR1 (ERF1) is an upstream component in both
jasmonate (JA) and ethylene (ET) signaling and is involved in pathogen resistance …

Ethylene Responsive Factor (ERF) subfamily comprise the largest number of proteins in the
plant AP2/ERF superfamily, and have been most extensively studied on the biological …

Abiotic and biotic stresses adversely affect the growth and productivity of plants and
constitute the major yield-limiting factor in agriculture. In recent years, several transcription …

Abstract The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transcription factor WRKY33 is essential for
defense toward the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. Here, we aimed at identifying early …
