Understanding the molecular differences in plant genotypes contrasting for heat sensitivity
can provide useful insights into the mechanisms that confer heat tolerance in plants. This …

Optimal defense (OD) theory predicts that within a plant, tissues are defended in proportion
to their fitness value and risk of predation. The fitness value of leaves varies greatly and …

Pitayas (Hylocereus spp.) is an attractive, highly nutritious and commercially valuable
tropical fruit. However, low-temperature damage limits crop production. Genome of pitaya …

Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.), a tropical spice crop of global acclaim, is susceptible to
Phytophthora capsici, an oomycete pathogen which causes the highly destructive foot rot …

Plant-microbe associations are thought to be beneficial for plant growth and resistance
against biotic or abiotic stresses, but for natural ecosystems, the ecological analysis of …

Plant antimicrobial peptides are the interesting source of studies in defense response as
they are essential components of innate immunity which exert rapid defense response. In …

Plant cells mount plenty of pattern‐recognition receptors (PRRs) to detect the microbe‐
associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) from potential microbial pathogens. MAMPs are …

In-depth quantitative profiling of the proteome and sub-proteomes of tumor cells has
relevance to tumor classification, the development of novel therapeutics, and of prognostic …

The molecular mechanisms and targets of nitric oxide (NO) are not fully known in plants. Our
study reports the first large-scale quantitative proteomic analysis of NO donor responsive …

Rice false smut (RFS), caused by Ustilaginoidea virens, is one of the most detrimental rice
fungal diseases and pose a severe threat to rice production and quality. Effectors in U …
