Lipases from bacterial, fungal, and animal sources have been purified to homogeneity with
very few of them being contributed from plants. Plant lipases are mostly found in energy …

Bacillus sp B55, a bacterium naturally associated with Nicotiana attenuata roots, promotes
growth and survival of wild-type and, particularly, ethylene (ET)–insensitive 35S-ethylene …

Plants host numerous endophytic microbes which promote plant performance, in particular
under stress. A new endophytic fungus was isolated from the leaves of a deciduous wood …

Sugarcane is an important crop and a major source of sugar and alcohol. In this study, we
performed de novo assembly and transcriptome annotation for six sugarcane genotypes …

Hormones play pivotal roles in regulating plant development, growth, and stress responses,
and cross‐talk among different hormones fine‐tunes various aspects of plant physiology …

Nicotiana attenuata has the capacity to respond specifically to herbivory by its natural
herbivore, Manduca sexta, through the perception of elicitors in larval oral secretions. We …

Plants interact with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and in doing so, change transcript
levels of many miRNAs and their targets. However, the identity of an Argonaute (AGO) that …

The development of nitrogen-fixing nodules in legumes is induced by perception of lipochitin-
oligosaccharide signals secreted by a bacterial symbiont. Nitrogen (N) starvation is a …

Abstract The JASMONATE ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins function as negative regulators of
jasmonic acid signaling in plants. We cloned 12 JAZ genes from native tobacco (Nicotiana …

Rosmarinic acid (RA), as the major secondary metabolite of Salvia species, is a valuable
bioactive compound for pharmaceutical applications. Toward rosmarinic acid production …
