Jasmonates (JAs) and ethylene (ET), often acting cooperatively, play essential roles in
regulating plant defense against pests and pathogens. Recent research reviewed here has …

Plants are challenged with numerous abiotic stresses, such as drought, cold, heat, and salt
stress. These environmental stresses are major causes of crop failure and reduced yields …

Bidirectional root–shoot signalling is probably key in orchestrating stress responses and
ensuring plant survival. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana responses to microbial root …

Water deficit caused by global climate changes seriously endangers the survival of
organisms and crop productivity, and increases environmental deterioration 1, 2. Plants' …

We have explored the importance of the phyllosphere microbiome in plant resistance in the
cuticle mutants bdg (BODYGUARD) or lacs2. 3 (LONG CHAIN FATTY ACID SYNTHASE 2) …

Plants employ two modes of their innate immune system to resist pathogen infection. The
first mode of immunity is referred to as pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) that is triggered by …

Vegetative shoot-based propagation of plants, including mass propagation of elite
genotypes, is dependent on the development of shoot-borne roots, which are also called …

Secondary cell walls (SCWs) are produced by specialized plant cell types, and are
particularly important in those cells providing mechanical support or involved in water …

Considerable progress has been made in identifying the targets of plant microRNAs, many
of which regulate the stability or translation of mRNAs that encode transcription factors …

Two modes of plant immunity against biotrophic pathogens, Effector Triggered Immunity
(ETI) and Pattern-Triggered Immunity (PTI), are triggered by recognition of pathogen …
