In recent years, mass spectrometry-based proteomics has provided scientists with the
tremendous capability to study plants more precisely than previously possible. Currently …

Plant pathogens have evolved by developing different strategies to infect their host, which in
turn have elaborated immune responses to counter the pathogen invasion. The apoplast …

All living cells, including archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes, release nano-sized lipid-bilayer
membrane vesicles known as extracellular vesicles (EVs) for reasons ranging from disposal …

In Nature, almost every plant is colonized by fungi. Trichoderma virens is a biocontrol fungus
which has the capacity to behave as an opportunistic plant endophyte. Even though many …

Resistance to auxinic herbicides is increasing in a range of dicotyledonous weed species,
but in most cases the biochemical mechanism of resistance is unknown. Using 14C-labelled …

The glucosinolate pathway, which is present in the order Brassicales, is one of the most
researched defensive natural product biosynthesis pathways. Its core molecules, the …

The extracellular space between cell wall and plasma membrane acts as the first battle field
between plants and pathogens. Bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes that colonize the living plant …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can transfer diverse RNA cargo for intercellular communication.
EV-associated RNAs have been found in diverse fungi and were proposed to be relevant for …

Our lack of full understanding of transport and sequestration of the heterologous products
currently limit metabolic engineering in plants for the production of high value terpenes. For …

Plant molecular farming (PMF) has been promoted as a fast, efficient and cost-effective
alternative to bacteria and animal cells for the production of biopharmaceutical proteins …
