Receptor kinases (RKs) are of paramount importance in transmembrane signaling that
governs plant reproduction, growth, development, and adaptation to diverse environmental …

Lipid-derived jasmonates (JAs) play a crucial role in a variety of plant development and
defense mechanisms. In recent years, significant progress has been made toward …

Gray leaf spot (GLS), caused by the fungal pathogens Cercospora zeae-maydis and
Cercospora zeina, is a major foliar disease of maize worldwide (Zea mays L.). Here we …

The hormone jasmonate (JA), which functions in plant immunity, regulates resistance to
pathogen infection and insect attack through triggering genome-wide transcriptional …

Plants and animals rely on innate immunity to prevent infections by detection of microbe-
associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) through pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs). The …

Phytopathogenic bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes invade and colonize their host plants
through distinct routes. These pathogens secrete diverse groups of effector proteins that aid …

Plants inhabit environments crowded with infectious microbes that pose constant threats to
their survival. Necrotrophic pathogens are notorious for their aggressive and wide-ranging …

The title of this essay declares that silicon does have roles in plants and all participants in
this conference know that that is so. This knowledge, however, is not shared by the general …

The plant hormone jasmonate (JA) exerts direct control over the production of chemical
defense compounds that confer resistance to a remarkable spectrum of plant-associated …

In plants and animals, innate immunity is triggered through pattern recognition receptors
(PRRs) in response to microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) to provide the first …
