Priming is an adaptive strategy that improves the defensive capacity of plants. This
phenomenon is marked by an enhanced activation of induced defense mechanisms. Stimuli …

Abstract Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed
rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

Plants are constantly confronted to both abiotic and biotic stresses that seriously reduce their
productivity. Plant responses to these stresses are complex and involve numerous …

Because of the need to provide food for the growing population, agricultural activity is faced
with the huge challenge of counteracting the negative effects generated by adverse …

Nanoparticles are recently employed as a new strategy to directly kill pathogens (eg,
bacteria and fungus) and acted as nanofertilizers. However, the influences of this foliar …

Plant hormones have pivotal roles in the regulation of plant growth, development, and
reproduction. Additionally, they emerged as cellular signal molecules with key functions in …

To adapt to changing environments, plants have evolved elaborate regulatory mechanisms
balancing their growth with stress responses. It is currently unclear whether and how the …

Plant growth and response to environmental cues are largely governed by phytohormones.
The plant hormones ethylene, jasmonic acid, and salicylic acid (SA) play a central role in the …

The cell wall is a dynamic structure that often determines the outcome of the interactions
between plants and pathogens. It is a barrier that pathogens need to breach to colonize the …

Plants live in complex environments in which they intimately interact with a broad range of
microbial pathogens with different lifestyles and infection strategies. The evolutionary arms …
