The phytohormone cytokinin was originally discovered as a regulator of cell division. Later, it
was described to be involved in regulating numerous processes in plant growth and …

Studies with model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana have revealed that phytohormones
are central regulators of plant defense. The intricate network of phytohormone signaling …

Plants can be primed to respond faster and more strongly to stress and multiple pathways,
specific for the encountered challenge, are involved in priming. This adaptability of priming …

Pathogen attack sequentially confers pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered
immunity (ETI) after sensing of pathogen patterns and effectors by plant immune receptors …

Salt and drought stresses are major factors limiting soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) growth
and development; thus, improving soybean stress tolerance is critical. In this study, both salt …

Improvements to the world's food supply chain are needed to ensure sufficient food is
produced to meet increasing population demands. Growing food in soilless hydroponic …

Spider mites (Tetranychidae sp.) are widely occurring arthropod pests on cultivated plants.
Feeding by the two‐spotted spider mite T. urticae, a generalist herbivore, induces a defense …

Pathogen recognition by the plant immune system leads to defense responses that are often
accompanied by a form of regulated cell death known as the hypersensitive response (HR) …

Almost 40 years ago the first transgenic plant was generated through Agrobacterium
tumefaciens-mediated transformation, which, until now, remains the method of choice for …

Probably the most known and best studied type of plant resistance to pathogenic infections
is the hypersensitive response (HR), a form of localized programmed cell death associated …
