Main conclusion This review analyzes the advances in understanding the natural signaling
pathways and environmental factors regulating stilbene biosynthesis. We also discuss the …

Insects are not only the most diverse group of animals on our planet, but also a huge
reservoir for unusual microorganism which are a rich source of pharmaceutically interesting …

The melanization response is an important defense mechanism in arthropods. This reaction
is mediated by phenoloxidases (POs), which are activated by complex extracellular serine …

The innate immune system of insects relies on both humoral and cellular immune responses
that are mediated via activation of several signalling pathways. Haemocytes are the primary …

The Photorhabdus temperata M1021 secretes toxic compounds that kill their insect hosts by
arresting immune responses. Present study was aimed to purify the insecticidal and …

The melanization cascade, in which phenoloxidase is the terminal enzyme, appears to play
a key role in recognition of and defense against microbial infections in invertebrates. Here …

Background The pioneering ancestor of land plants that conquered terrestrial habitats
around 500 million years ago had to face dramatic stresses including UV radiation …
