Until recently, most studies on the role of hormones in plant-pathogen interactions focused
on salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET). It is now clear that pathogen …

The B-box (BBX) proteins are a class of zinc-finger transcription factors containing a B-box
domain with one or two B-box motifs, and sometimes also feature a CCT (CONSTANS, CO …

The cells of multicellular organisms receive extracellular signals using surface receptors.
The extracellular domains (ECDs) of cell surface receptors function as interaction platforms …

Drought represents a major threat to food security. Mechanistic data describing plant
responses to drought have been studied extensively and genes conferring drought …

Recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by surface-localized
pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) constitutes an important layer of innate immunity in …

Being sessile, plants are subjected to a diverse array of environmental stresses during their
life span. Exposure of plants to environmental stresses results in the generation of reactive …

Plants sense potential microbial invaders by using pattern-recognition receptors to
recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). In Arabidopsis thaliana, the …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are group of plant steroidal hormones that modulate developmental
processes and also have pivotal role in stress management. Biosynthesis of BRs takes …

Brassinosteroid (BR) signal transduction research has progressed rapidly from the initial
discovery of the BR receptor to a complete definition of the basic molecular components …

In pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI), plant cell
surface receptors sense potential microbial pathogens by recognizing elicitors called …
