Abscisic acid (ABA) is a stress hormone that accumulates under different abiotic and biotic
stresses. A typical effect of ABA on leaves is to reduce transpirational water loss by closing …

For more than 200 years, the plant hormone salicylic acid (SA) has been studied for its
medicinal use in humans. However, its extensive signaling role in plants, particularly in …

Postharvest technologies have allowed horticultural industries to meet the global demands
of local and large-scale production and intercontinental distribution of fresh produce that …

Pollution and climate change degrade plant health. Plant stress can be decreased by
application of salicylic acid, an hormone involved in plant signaling. Salicylic acid indeed …

Plants have evolved a wide range of mechanisms to cope with biotic and abiotic stresses. To
date, the molecular mechanisms that are involved in each stress has been revealed …

Photosynthesis, pathogen infection, and plant defense are three important biological
processes that have been investigated separately for decades. Photosynthesis generates …

Plants often face the challenge of severe environmental conditions, which include various
biotic and abiotic stresses that exert adverse effects on plant growth and development …

Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are key signalling molecules produced in
response to various stimuli and involved in a diverse range of plant signal transduction …

During the past two decades, nitric oxide (NO) has evolved from a mere gaseous free radical
to become a new messenger in plant biology with an important role in a plethora of …

A decade-long investigation of nitric oxide (NO) functions in plants has led to its
characterization as a biological mediator involved in key physiological processes. Despite …
