Twenty years of research on cerato-platanin family proteins (CPPs) have led to some clear
conclusions: CPPs are exclusively present in the fungal kingdom and possess an …

Plants activate defense-related pathways in response to subtle abiotic or biotic disturbances,
changing their volatile profile rapidly. How such perturbations reach and potentially affect …

Tolerant plants to cold stress could be a promising solution, however, generating these
types of crop plants or increasing their tolerance to cold stress via biochemical approaches …

This work was performed to evaluate the possible application of PTR-ToF-MS technique in
distinguishing between Coffea arabica (Arabica) and Coffea canephora var. robusta …

The Elemental defense hypothesis suggested that metal accumulation in plant tissues could
serve as direct defense to reduce herbivore feeding preference as metals are toxic to …

Sediments dredged by an industrial port, slightly contaminated by heavy metals and
petroleoum hydrocarbons, were phytoremediated and used as peat-free growing media for …

Comparative analyses of the responses to abiotic stress in related taxa with different
degrees of tolerance can provide useful information to elucidate the mechanisms of stress …

Metal hyperaccumulation from the soil by certain plant species can serve as a defence trait.
Such hyperaccumulation might impact the expression of organic defences. Here, the …

Overused agrochemicals threaten the environment and human health. Nanotechnology has
shown great potential for maintaining or minimizing environmental issues in agriculture …

Cerato-platanin (CP) is the founder of a fungal protein family consisting in non-catalytic
secreted proteins, which work as virulence factors and/or as elicitors of defense responses …
