Plants and microbes interact with each other via different chemical signaling pathways. At
the risophere level, the microbes can secrete molecules, called elicitors, which act on their …

Melatonin was found in plants in the late 1990s, but its function, signaling, and interaction
with other phytohormones still unclear. Melatonin research in plants has increased …

Due to their different lifestyles, effective defence against biotrophic pathogens normally
leads to increased susceptibility to necrotrophs, and vice versa. Solving this trade‐off is a …

Appropriate regulation of crop seed germination is of significance for agriculture production.
In this study, we show that Ta JAZ 1, most closely related to Arabidopsis JAZ 3, negatively …

Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are protective metabolites constitutively produced by
Solanaceae species. Genes and enzymes generating the vast structural diversity of SGAs …

Jasmonates (JAs), a class of lipid-derived stress hormones, play a crucial role across an
array of plant physiological processes and stress responses. Although JA signaling is …

The gray mold caused by the phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea presents a threat to global food
security. For the biological regulation of several plant diseases, Bacillus species have been …

Plant phenotypic plasticity determines plant adaptation to changing environments and
agricultural productivity. Phytohormones are essential plant signalling molecules regulating …

The volatile esters of (Z)-3-hexenol with acetic, propionic, isobutyric, or butyric acids are
synthesized by alcohol acyltransferases (AAT) in plants. These compounds are differentially …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is essential for wood development in trees. However, the
determination of crucial factors involved in xylem PCD of wood development is still lacking …
