Recognition of pathogen-derived molecules by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is a
common feature of both animal and plant innate immune systems. In plants, PRR signalling …

In nature, plants constantly have to face pathogen attacks. However, plant disease rarely
occurs due to efficient immune systems possessed by the host plants. Pathogens are …

Plants in their natural habitat have to face multiple stresses simultaneously. Evolutionary
adaptation of developmental, physiological, and biochemical parameters give advantage …

Plants inhabit environments crowded with infectious microbes that pose constant threats to
their survival. Necrotrophic pathogens are notorious for their aggressive and wide-ranging …

Perception of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) by cell-surface-resident
pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) induces rapid, robust, and selective transcriptional …

Background Homoeologs are defined as homologous genes resulting from allopolyploidy.
Bread wheat, Triticum aestivum, is an allohexaploid species with many homoeologs …

WRKY proteins are emerging players in plant signaling and have been thoroughly reported
to play important roles in plants under biotic stress like pathogen attack. However, recent …

Insect herbivory causes severe damage to plants and threatens the world's food production.
During evolutionary adaptation, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to rapidly …

It has been almost 20 years since the first report of a WRKY transcription factor, SPF1, from
sweet potato. Great progress has been made since then in establishing the diverse …

Plants continually monitor their innate developmental status and external environment and
make adjustments to balance growth, differentiation and stress responses using a complex …
