Plant secondary metabolites (SMs) play important roles in plant survival and in creating
ecological connections between other species. In addition to providing a variety of valuable …

In the whole life process, many factors including external and internal factors affect plant
growth and development. The morphogenesis, growth, and development of plants are …

Plants produce a large variety of secondary metabolites including alkaloids, glucosinolates,
terpenoids and phenylpropanoids. These compounds play key roles in plant–environment …

Abstract Jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is a plant hormone that regulates a broad array of
plant defence and developmental processes,,,,. JA-Ile-responsive gene expression is …

Jasmonates (JAs) act as conserved elicitors of plant secondary metabolism. JA perception
triggers extensive transcriptional reprogramming leading to the concerted activation of entire …

Background Plant protoplasts, a proven physiological and versatile cell system, are widely
used in high-throughput analysis and functional characterization of genes. Green …

The study of biological systems relies to a large extent on DNA cloning technologies
enabling the analysis of recombinant genes through transgenic research. In this context, the …

Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are cholesterol-derived molecules produced by
solanaceous species. They contribute to pathogen defence but are toxic to humans and …

The transient assay system based on mesophyll or cultured cell‐derived protoplasts has
been exploited in several plant species and has become a powerful tool for rapid gene …

Jasmonates (JAs) are plant-specific signaling molecules that steer a diverse set of
physiological and developmental processes. Pathogen attack and wounding inflicted by …
