Jasmonic acid (JA) and its precursors and dervatives, referred as jasmonates (JAs) are
important molecules in the regulation of many physiological processes in plant growth and …

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 are continuously exposed to agents such as herbivores and environmental
mechanical stresses that cause wounding and open the way to the invasion by microbial …

Soft rot pectobacteria are broad host range enterobacterial pathogens that cause disease on
a variety of plant species including the major crop potato. Pectobacteria are aggressive …

Covering: up to April 2012 In plants, successful defense relies on fast and specific response
to biotic attack. In plant–microbial and plant–plant interactions several elicitors, effectors and …

An efficient sensing of danger and a rapid activation of the immune system are crucial for the
survival of plants. Conserved pathogen/microbe-associated molecular patterns …

Methanol is a byproduct of cell wall modification, released through the action of pectin
methylesterases (PMEs), which demethylesterify cell wall pectins. Plant PMEs play not only …

The plant immune response against various pathogens relies on a convoluted recognition
system based on perceiving exogenous or endogenous stimuli, such as pathogen-or …

Systemin, an 18-amino acid signaling peptide isolated from tomato leaves, has been found
to be an integral component of the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, leading to the synthesis …

Systemin is a small peptide with important functions in plant wound response signaling.
Although the transcriptional responses of systemin action are well described, the signaling …
