Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a group of
diverse molecules that are induced by phytopathogens as well as defense related signaling …

Higher plants undergo a variety of stresses and to combat those stresses they acclimatize
themselves by producing diverse secondary metabolites. These secondary metabolites also …

Lipid-derived jasmonates (JAs) play a crucial role in a variety of plant development and
defense mechanisms. In recent years, significant progress has been made toward …

Cross-talk between ethylene and jasmonate signaling pathways determines the activation of
a set of defense responses against pathogens and herbivores. However, the molecular …

A bstract Plant responses to herbivores are complex. Genes activated on herbivore attack
are strongly correlated with the mode of herbivore feeding and the degree of tissue damage …

Plant defense in response to microbial attack is regulated through a complex network of
signaling pathways that involve three signaling molecules: salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid …

In spite of the importance of jasmonates (JAs) as plant growth and stress regulators, the
molecular components of their signaling pathway remain largely unknown. By means of a …

The plant hormone jasmonate (JA) exerts direct control over the production of chemical
defense compounds that confer resistance to a remarkable spectrum of plant-associated …

Long known only for its role in abiotic stress tolerance, recent evidence shows that abscisic
acid (ABA) also has a prominent role in biotic stress. Although it acts as a negative regulator …

Despite its importance in a variety of plant defense responses, our understanding of how
jasmonic acid (JA) functions at the biochemical level is limited. Several amino acid …
