The mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is an important signalling event
associated with every aspect of plant growth, development, yield, abiotic and biotic stress …

To respond to abiotic stresses, plants have developed specific mechanisms that allow them
to rapidly perceive and respond to environmental changes. The phytohormone abscisic acid …

networks.•Blue light-induced stomatal opening involves starch and triacylglycerol …

The crosstalk between second messengers, hormones and mitogen-activated protein
kinases (MAPKs) in plant signalling systems facilitates adaptation and survival in the face of …

Activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) is one of the earliest responses
after plants sense an invading pathogen. Here, we show that MPK3 and MPK6, two …

In plants, a host's responses to an attempted infection include activation of various
secondary metabolite pathways, some of which are specific for particular plant phylogenetic …

Climate change-associated environmental vagaries have amplified the incidence of pests
and pathogens on plants, thus imparting the increased quest for management strategies …

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is an evolutionarily conserved signal
transduction module involved in transducing extracellular signals to the nucleus for …

Guard cells are specialized cells forming stomatal pores at the leaf surface for gas
exchanges between the plant and the atmosphere. Stomata have been shown to play an …

Guard cells form stomata on the epidermis and continuously respond to endogenous and
environmental stimuli to fine-tune the gas exchange and transpirational water loss …
