The plant hormone jasmonate coordinates immune and growth responses to increase plant
survival in unpredictable environments. The core jasmonate signaling pathway comprises …

The lipid-derived phytohormone jasmonate (JA) regulates plant growth, development,
secondary metabolism, defense against insect attack and pathogen infection, and tolerance …

Jasmonates (JAs) and ethylene (ET), often acting cooperatively, play essential roles in
regulating plant defense against pests and pathogens. Recent research reviewed here has …

Evolutionary success in plants is largely dependent on the successful transition from
vegetative to reproductive growth. In the lifetime of a plant, flowering is not only an essential …

Jasmonates (JAs) are plant hormones with essential roles in plant defense and
development. The basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor (TF) MYC2 has recently …

Next to numerous abiotic stresses, plants are constantly exposed to a variety of pathogens
within their environment. Thus, their ability to survive and prosper during the course of …

Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is an induced immune mechanism in plants. Unlike
vertebrate adaptive immunity, SAR is broad spectrum, with no specificity to the initial …

The constant struggle between plants and microbes has driven the evolution of multiple
defense strategies in the host as well as offense strategies in the pathogen. To defend …

Plants are sessile and photo-autotrophic; their entire life cycle is thus strongly influenced by
the ever-changing light environment. In order to sense and respond to those fluctuating …
