Auxin is a plant hormone involved in an extraordinarily broad variety of biological
mechanisms. These range from basic cellular processes, such as endocytosis, cell polarity …

Phospholipases (PLs) are lipid-hydrolyzing enzymes known to have diverse signaling roles
during plant abiotic and biotic stress responses. They catalyze lipid remodeling, which is …

Among the three primary auxin-induced gene families, Auxin/Indole-3-Acetic Acid (Aux/IAA),
Gretchen Hagen3 (GH3) and SMALL AUXIN UP RNA (SAUR), the function of SAUR genes …

Phosphoglycerolipids are essential structural constituents of membranes and some also
have important cell signalling roles. In this review, we focus on phosphoglycerolipids that …

Membrane lipids provide both the structural basis for cell membranes and a rich source of
cellular mediators that regulate many aspects of plant development and environmental …

Background Plant breeding has been proposed as one of the most effective and
environmentally safe methods to control fungal infection and to reduce fumonisin …

Plant pathogens pose a significant threat to the food industry and food security accounting
for 10–40% crop losses annually on a global scale. Economic losses from plant diseases …

While it is known that patatin-related phospholipase A (pPLA) activity is rapidly activated
within 3min by auxin, hardly anything is known about how this signal influences downstream …

Auxin (indole acetic acid) is a multifunctional phytohormone controlling various
developmental patterns, morphogenetic processes, and growth behaviours in plants. The …

Background Banana plant height is an important trait for horticultural practices and semi-
dwarf cultivars show better resistance to damages by wind and rain. However, the molecular …
