Plant beneficial microorganisms improve the health and growth of the associated plants.
Application of beneficial microbes triggers an enhanced resistance state, also termed as …

Chitinases are present in diverse form of organisms from bacteria, fungi, insects, plants.
Plant chitinases are part of pathogenesis-related proteins. When plant (host) cells are under …

Plant antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have evolved differently from AMPs from other life
forms. They are generally rich in cysteine residues which form multiple disulfides. In turn, the …

Abstract ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR1 (ERF1) is an upstream component in both
jasmonate (JA) and ethylene (ET) signaling and is involved in pathogen resistance …

Plants cannot avoid being attacked by an almost infinite number of microorganisms and
insects. Consequently, they arm themselves with molecular weapons against their attackers …

Jasmonate (JA) and ethylene (ET) are two major plant hormones that synergistically
regulate plant development and tolerance to necrotrophic fungi. Both JA and ET induce the …

In incompatible host-pathogen interactions, damage caused by the pathogen remains
restricted as a result of the plant's defensive response. Most effective is the hypersensitive …

Despite its simple two-carbon structure, the olefin ethylene is a potent modulator of plant
growth and development (Ecker, 1995). The plant hormone ethylene is involved in many …

The coi1 mutation defines an Arabidopsis gene required for response to jasmonates, which
regulate defense against insects and pathogens, wound healing, and pollen fertility. The …

▪ Abstract Jasmonic acid and its derivatives can modulate aspects of fruit ripening,
production of viable pollen, root growth, tendril coiling, and plant resistance to insects and …
