To confer resistance against pathogens and pests in plants, typically dominant resistance
genes are deployed. However, because resistance is based on recognition of a single …

Rho guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) are master regulators of cell signaling, but how
they are regulated depending on the cellular context is unclear. We found that the …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a small phenolic compound whose therapeutic properties on human
health have long been described. In plants, it is a key phytohormone that controls many …

The directional transport of auxin, known as polar auxin transport (PAT), allows asymmetric
distribution of this hormone in different cells and tissues. This system creates local auxin …

N-hydroxy-pipecolic acid (NHP) activates plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR).
Enhanced defense responses are typically accompanied by deficiency in plant development …

Cell polarity is fundamental to the development of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, yet the
mechanisms behind its formation are not well understood. Here we found that …

Susceptibility to infectious diseases caused by pathogens affects most plants in their natural
habitat and leads to yield losses in agriculture. However, plants are not helpless because …

Every cell constantly receives signals from its neighbours or the environment. In plants, most
signals are perceived by RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASEs (RLKs) and then transmitted into the …

N-hydroxy pipecolic acid (NHP) plays an important role in plant immunity. In contrast to its
biosynthesis, our current knowledge with respect to the transcriptional regulation of the NHP …
