The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) not only is a well-known signal molecule mediating
plant immunity, but also is involved in plant growth regulation. However, while its role in …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a naturally occurring phenolic compound. SA plays an important role in
the regulation of plant growth, development, ripening, and defense responses. The role of …

The plant microbiota consists of a multitude of microorganisms that can affect plant health
and fitness. However, it is currently unclear how the plant shapes its leaf microbiota and …

Plants are constantly exposed to microorganisms in the environment and, as a result, have
evolved intricate mechanisms to recognize and defend themselves against potential …

In recent years salicylic acid (SA) has been the focus of intensive research due to its function
as an endogenous signal mediating local and systemic plant defence responses against …

Metabolic signals orchestrate plant defenses against microbial pathogen invasion. Here, we
report the identification of the non-protein amino acid pipecolic acid (Pip), a common Lys …

In plants, salicylic acid (SA) is a hormone that mediates a plant's defense against pathogens.
SA also takes an active role in a plant's response to various abiotic stresses, including …

We investigated the relationships of the two immune-regulatory plant metabolites, salicylic
acid (SA) and pipecolic acid (Pip), in the establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance …

Phenolic acids (PAs) secreted by donor plants suppress the growth of their susceptible plant
neighbours. However, how structurally diverse ensembles of PAs are perceived by plants to …

It has been suggested that effective defense against biotrophic pathogens is largely due to
programmed cell death in the host, and to associated activation of defense responses …
