In plants, reactive oxygen species (ROS) have emerged as a multifunctional signaling
molecules that modulate diverse stress and growth responses. Earlier studies on ROS in …

Plant architecture fundamentally differs from that of other multicellular organisms in that
individual cells serve as osmotic bricks, defined by the equilibrium between the internal …

As fixed organisms, plants are especially affected by changes in their environment and have
consequently evolved extensive mechanisms for acclimation and adaptation. Initially …

Plants have evolved a repertoire of monitoring systems to sense plant morphogenesis and
to face environmental changes and threats caused by different attackers. These systems …

The plant cell wall is the first physical and defensive barrier against pathogens. The plant
cell wall usually undergoes dynamic remodeling as an immune response to prevent …

Cell walls are highly dynamic structures that provide mechanical support for plant cells
during growth, development and adaptation to a changing environment. Thus, it is important …

The plant microbiota consists of a multitude of microorganisms that can affect plant health
and fitness. However, it is currently unclear how the plant shapes its leaf microbiota and …

The battle between plants and microbes is evolutionarily ancient, highly complex, and often
co-dependent. A primary challenge for microbes is to breach the physical barrier of host cell …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key signal transduction role in cells. They are
involved in the regulation of growth, development, responses to environmental stimuli and …

Cell walls surround all plant cells, and their composition and structure are modified in a
tightly controlled, adaptive manner to meet sometimes opposing functional requirements …
