Abstract Zhonglin Mou (Corresponding author) The small phenolic compound salicylic acid
(SA) plays an important regulatory role in multiple physiological processes including plant …

Plant hormones play important roles in plant growth and development and physiology, and
in acclimation to environmental changes. The hormone signaling networks are highly …

Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to regulate various aspects of growth and development;
it also serves as a critical signal for activating disease resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana and …

Brown planthopper (BPH) is one of the most destructive insects affecting rice (Oryza sativa
L.) production. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is a key enzyme involved in plant …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants is mediated by the signaling molecules azelaic
acid (AzA), glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), and salicylic acid (SA). Here, we show that AzA and …

transferase (HCT) in thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) leads …

Increased exposure to environmental stresses due to climate change have adversely
affected plant growth and productivity. Upon stress, plants activate a signaling cascade …

mutants exhibiting enhanced susceptibility to the avirulent Pseudomonas syringae pathogen …

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a destructive disease of cereal crops such as wheat and
barley. Previously, expression in wheat of the Arabidopsis NPR1 gene (AtNPR1), which …

Induced mechanisms are by definition imperceptible or less active in uninfected, unstressed,
or untreated plants, but can be activated by pathogen infection, stress, or chemical treatment …
