Studies with model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana have revealed that phytohormones
are central regulators of plant defense. The intricate network of phytohormone signaling …

The presence of phytoplasmas and their associated diseases is an emerging threat to
vegetable production which leads to severe yield losses worldwide. Phytoplasmas are …

Tomato fruit is cold-sensitive and susceptible to chilling injury during cold storage. Bioactive
gibberellins (GAs), which play an important role in regulating various physiological …

Invasive phytoplasmas wreak havoc on coconut palms worldwide, leading to high loss of
income, food insecurity and extreme poverty of farmers in producing countries …

The role of Sly-miR171d on tomato fruit chilling injury (CI) was investigated. The results
showed that silencing the endogenous Sly-miR171d effectively delayed the increase of CI …

Bioactive gibberellic acid (GA 3) has been reported to mediate chilling stress responses in
tomato. In this study, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Zhefen No. 702) fruit harvested at …

Plants tend to acclimatize to unfavourable environs by integrating growth and development
to environmentally activated signals. Phytohormones strongly regulate convergent …

Phytoplasmas are obligate cell-wall-less plant pathogenic bacteria that infect many
economically important crops, causing considerable yield losses worldwide. Very little …

In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the ripening of fruit is regulated by the selective
expression of ripening-related genes, and this procedure is controlled by transcription …

The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria presents a promising addition to
conventional mineral fertilizer use and an alternative strategy for sustainable agricultural …
