Plant-parasitic-nematodes represent a major threat to the agricultural production of different
crops worldwide. Due to the high toxicity of chemical nematicides, it is necessary to develop …

The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) is known to regulate plant immunity against
pathogens. Plants synthesize SA via the isochorismate synthase (ICS) pathway or the …

The rhizosphere is a complex physical and chemical interface between plants and their
underground environment, both biotic and abiotic. Plants exude a large number of …

Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid‐derived phytohormones that regulate plant growth and
development. While root‐secreted SLs are well‐known to facilitate plant symbiosis with …

Cover crop integration into grain crop rotations is a promising strategy for mitigating
nematode‐induced diseases in agriculture. However, the precise mechanisms underlying …

The effects of the phytohormone strigolactone (SL) and smoke-derived karrikins (KARs) on
plants are generally distinct, despite the fact that they are perceived through very similar …

Strigolactones (SLs), initially reported as germination stimulants for Striga lutea were later
described for their role in Phelipanche and Orobanche species. SLs were reported in major …

Chemical signals known as strigolactones (SLs) were discovered more than 50 years ago
as host-derived germination stimulants of parasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae …

Verticillium wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae is a serious vascular disease in cotton
(Gossypium spp.). V. dahliae induces the expression of the CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE …

Strigolactones (SLs) are plant secondary metabolites derived from carotenoids. SLs play
important roles in the regulation of plant growth and development in planta and coordinate …
