Plant hormones play central roles in plant growth, developmental processes, and plant
response to biotic and abiotic stresses. On the one hand, plant hormones may allocate …

Diverse molecular processes regulate the interactions between plants and insect
herbivores. Here, we review genes and proteins that are involved in plant–herbivore …

Lipoxygenases (LOXs), naturally occurring enzymes, are widely distributed in plants and
animals. LOXs can be non-sulfur iron, non-heme iron, or manganese-containing …

Decoding wound signalling in plants is critical for understanding various aspects of plant
sciences, from pest resistance to secondary metabolite and phytohormone biosynthesis. The …

Abstract Biosynthesis/metabolism, perception/signaling, and transport are three essential
aspects of the actions of phytohormones. Jasmonates (JAs), including jasmonic acid (JA) …

Plants have various self-defense mechanisms against biotic attacks, involving both physical
and chemical barriers. Physical barriers include spines, trichomes, and cuticle layers …

The identity of the cell files necessary for the leaf-to-leaf transmission of wound signals
plants has been debated for decades. In Arabidopsis, wounding initiates the glutamate …

Wounded leaves communicate their damage status to one another through a poorly
understood process of long-distance signalling. This stimulates the distal production of …

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 …
