Plant–pathogen interactions induce a signal transmission series that stimulates the plant's
host defense system against pathogens and this, in turn, leads to disease resistance …

Light is crucial for plant life, and perception of the light environment dictates plant growth,
morphology, and developmental changes. Such adjustments in growth and development in …

Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

In seasonal flowering, plants need to monitor environmental variables. A combination of
photoreceptors and the circadian clock initiate signals that regulate a network of genes in …

Plants monitor changes in photoperiod and temperature to synchronize their flowering with
seasonal changes to maximize fitness. In the Arabidopsis photoperiodic flowering pathway …

Forest trees are dominant components of terrestrial ecosystems that have global ecological
and economic importance. Despite distributions that span wide environmental gradients …

The presence of neighboring vegetation modifies the light environment experienced by
plants, generating signals that are perceived by phytochromes and cryptochromes. These …

Many plants synchronize their life cycles in response to changing seasons and initiate
flowering under favourable environmental conditions to ensure reproductive success. To …

One of the key developmental processes in flowering plants is the differentiation of the shoot
apical meristem into a floral meristem. This transition is regulated through the integration of …

At high vegetation density, shade-intolerant plants sense a reduction in the red (660 nm) to
far-red (730 nm) light ratio (R/FR) in addition to a general reduction in light intensity. These …
