Nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1 (NPR1) was discovered in Arabidopsis as
an activator of salicylic acid (SA)-mediated immune responses nearly 30 years ago. How …

Feeding a rising population of currently 7.8 billion people globally requires efficient
agriculture, which is preferably sustainable. Today, farmers are largely dependent on …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone that is best known for mediating host
responses upon pathogen infection. Its role in plant defense activation is well established …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a very simple phenolic compound (a C7H6O3 compound composed of
an aromatic ring, one carboxylic and a hydroxyl group) and this simplicity contrasts with its …

Salicylic acid (SA) is one of the potential plant growth regulators (PGRs) that regulate plant
growth and development by triggering many physiological and metabolic processes. It is …

Thousands of structurally and chemically diverse phytochemicals called secondary
metabolites are ubiquitously found in the plant kingdom. They are not essential for plant …

The use of nanotechnology to suppress crop diseases has attracted significant attention in
agriculture. The present study investigated the antifungal mechanism by which aloe vera …

A multitude of biotic and abiotic stress factors do harm to plants by bringing about diseases
and inhibiting normal growth and development. As a pivotal signaling molecule, salicylic …

Background Crops are constantly attacked by various pathogens. These pathogenic
microorganisms, such as fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes, threaten …

Endophytic fungi and bacteria live asymptomatically within plant tissues. In recent decades,
research on endophytes has revealed that their significant role in promoting plants as …
