Adaptive plant responses to specific abiotic stresses or biotic agents are fine-tuned by a
network of hormonal signaling cascades, including abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene, jasmonic …

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 …

Appropriate responses of seeds and fruits to environmental factors are key traits that control
the establishment of a species in a particular ecosystem. Adaptation of germination to abiotic …

Ethylene (ET) is an important hormone in plant responses to microbial pathogens and
herbivorous insects, and in the interaction of plants with beneficial microbes and insects …

Background The sugarcane aphid (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari) has emerged as a key pest
on sorghum in the United States that feeds from the phloem tissue, drains nutrients, and …

Seagrasses are marine angiosperms that evolved from land plants but returned to the sea
around 140 million years ago during the early evolution of monocotyledonous plants. They …

Plants in ecology interact with their biotic and abiotic environment. Means of interactions,
and thereby crucial for the survival of the species, are secondary plant metabolites …

Increasing planting density is one of the most effective ways to improve crop yield. However,
one major factor that limits crop planting density is the weakened immunity of plants to …

Phytohormones are natural signaling molecules, developed and deployed by plants to
tackle diverse biotic and abiotic stresses, thus holding great significance. Over the past few …

In the field, biotic and abiotic stresses frequently co‐occur. As a consequence, common
molecular signalling pathways governing adaptive responses to individual stresses can …
