The general phenylpropanoid metabolism generates an enormous array of secondary
metabolites based on the few intermediates of the shikimate pathway as the core unit. The …

The rhizosphere supports the development and activity of a huge and diversified microbial
community, including microorganisms capable to promote plant growth. Among the latter …

Immune systems distinguish “self” from “nonself” to maintain homeostasis and must
differentially gate access to allow colonization by potentially beneficial, nonpathogenic …

Summary The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) is a continuously updated, online
database of genetic and molecular biology data for the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana that …

Jasmonates are essential phytohormones for plant development and survival. However, the
molecular details of their signalling pathway remain largely unknown. The identification …

Genes in the ERF family encode transcriptional regulators with a variety of functions
involved in the developmental and physiological processes in plants. In this study, a …

Plants and animals use small RNAs (microRNAs [miRNAs] and siRNAs) as guides for
posttranscriptional and epigenetic regulation. In plants, miRNAs and trans-acting (ta) …

Higher eukaryotes sense microbes through the perception of pathogen-associated
molecular patterns (PAMPs). Arabidopsis plants detect a variety of PAMPs including …

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

The shoot apical meristem allows for reiterative formation of new aerial structures throughout
the life cycle of a plant. We use single-cell RNA sequencing to define the cellular taxonomy …
