High-value active ingredients in medicinal plants have attracted research attention because
of their benefits for human health, such as the antimalarial artemisinin, anticardiovascular …

The lipid-derived phytohormone jasmonate (JA) regulates plant growth, development,
secondary metabolism, defense against insect attack and pathogen infection, and tolerance …

Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

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

Multiple environmental stresses affect growth and development of plants. Plants try to adapt
under these unfavorable condition through various evolutionary mechanisms like …

ABSTRACT MYC2, a basic helix‐loop‐helix (bHLH) transcription factor, is a key regulator in
the activation of jasmonate (JA) response. However, the molecular details of MYC2 involving …

In this study, we examined the involvement of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) in methyl
jasmonate (MeJA)-induced stomatal closure using an inhibitor of ABA biosynthesis, fluridon …

Throughout their life, plants are challenged by various abiotic and biotic stress factors.
Among those are attacks from herbivorous insects. The molecular mechanisms underlying …

Catharanthus roseus produces a wide range of terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIA). Many of
them, such as vinblastine and vincristine, have significant bioactivity. They are valuable …

To fend off microbial pathogens and herbivores, plants have evolved a wide range of
defense strategies such as physical barriers, or the production of anti-digestive proteins or …
