Plants have developed a complex defense system against diverse pests and pathogens.
Once pathogens overcome mechanical barriers to infection, plant receptors initiate signaling …

Current technologies have changed biology into a data-intensive field and significantly
increased our understanding of signal transduction pathways in plants. However, global …

Climatic conditions are key determinants of plant growth, whether at the scale of temperature
regulation of the cell cycle or at the scale of the geographic limits for a particular species …

Beneficial microbes in the microbiome of plant roots improve plant health. Induced systemic
resistance (ISR) emerged as an important mechanism by which selected plant growth …

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

Plants live in complex environments in which they intimately interact with a broad range of
microbial pathogens with different lifestyles and infection strategies. The evolutionary arms …

Plant hormones play important roles in regulating developmental processes and signaling
networks involved in plant responses to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses …

Despite significant advances in crop protection, plant diseases cause a 20% yield loss in
food and cash crops worldwide. Therefore, interactions between plants and pathogens have …

Plants cannot move to escape environmental challenges. Biotic stresses result from a
battery of potential pathogens: fungi, bacteria, nematodes and insects intercept the …

Inducible defense-related proteins have been described in many plant species upon
infection with oomycetes, fungi, bacteria, or viruses, or insect attack. Several types of …
