Aerobic living is thought to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are an inevitable
chemical component. They are produced exclusively in cellular compartments in aerobic …

Metals play essential roles in many biological processes but are toxic when present in
excess. This makes their transport and homoeostatic control of particular importance to living …

Water deficit (drought stress) massively restricts plant growth and the yield of crops; reducing
the deleterious effects of drought is therefore of high agricultural relevance. Drought triggers …

Fruit ripening in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a complicated development process
affected by both endogenous hormonal and genetic regulators and external signals …

Given the major threat of phytopathogenic bacteria to food production and ecosystem
stability worldwide, novel alternatives to conventional chemicals-based agricultural practices …

In contrast to gene-for-gene disease resistance, nonhost resistance governs defense
responses to a broad range of potential pathogen species. To identify specific genes …

Although defense responses mediated by the plant oxylipin jasmonic acid (JA) are often
necessary for resistance against pathogens with necrotrophic lifestyles, in this report we …

Plants deploy diverse molecular and cellular mechanisms to survive in stressful
environments. The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) abscisic acid‐induced myb1 (SlAIM1) …

Abstract Background The Arabidopsis thaliana-Pseudomonas syringae model pathosystem
is one of the most widely used systems to understand the mechanisms of microbial …

Nitrogen (N) influences a myriad of physiological processes while its effects on plant
defences and the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, the interaction …
