Salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone that is best known for mediating host
responses upon pathogen infection. Its role in plant defense activation is well established …

Key message Recent updates in JA biosynthesis, signaling pathways and the crosstalk
between JA and others phytohormones in relation with plant responses to different stresses …

Autophagy, as an intracellular degradation system, plays a critical role in plant immunity.
However, the involvement of autophagy in the plant immune system and its function in plant …

Beneficial root endophytes such as Trichoderma spp. can reduce infections by parasitic
nematodes through triggering host defences. Little is currently known about the complex …

A biostimulant is an organic material that, when applied in small quantities, enhances plant
growth and development such that the response cannot be attributed to the application of …

Plants synthesize jasmonates (JAs) in response to developmental cues or environmental
stresses, in order to coordinate plant growth, development or defense against pathogens …

Plant-parasitic nematodes are costly burdens of crop production. Ubiquitous in nature,
phytoparasitic nematodes are associated with nearly every important agricultural crop and …

Plants must effectively defend against biotic and abiotic stresses to survive in nature.
However, this defense is costly and is often accompanied by significant growth inhibition …

The plant hormone jasmonate (JA) exerts direct control over the production of chemical
defense compounds that confer resistance to a remarkable spectrum of plant-associated …

Jasmonates (JAs) are lipid-derived compounds acting as key signaling compounds in plant
stress responses and development. The JA co-receptor complex and several enzymes of JA …
