Secondary metabolites in plants have been recognized as a novel basis of potential bio-
pesticides, paving the way for their use in sustainable agriculture. Plant secondary …

Transcriptional regulation is a central process in plant immunity. The induction or repression
of defense genes is orchestrated by signaling networks that are directed by plant hormones …

Ethylene induces anthocyanin biosynthesis in most fruits, including apple (Malus domestica)
and plum (Prunus spp.). By contrast, ethylene inhibits anthocyanin biosynthesis in pear …

Anthocyanin pigments contribute to plant coloration and are valuable sources of
antioxidants in the human diet as components of fruits and vegetables. Their production is …

Drought stress induces anthocyanin biosynthesis in many plant species, but the underlying
molecular mechanism remains unclear. Ethylene response factors (ERFs) play key roles in …

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 …

Plant hormones have pivotal roles in the regulation of plant growth, development, and
reproduction. Additionally, they emerged as cellular signal molecules with key functions in …

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 …

Plant hormones play important roles in regulating developmental processes and signaling
networks involved in plant responses to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses …

Abiotic and biotic stresses adversely affect the growth and productivity of plants and
constitute the major yield-limiting factor in agriculture. In recent years, several transcription …
