Plants can acquire an improved resistance against pathogen attacks by exogenous
application of natural or artificial compounds. In a process called chemical priming …

Plant response to pathogens attacks generally comes at the expense of growth. Defense
priming is widely accepted as an efficient strategy used for augmenting resistance with …

Flowering is a critical agricultural trait that substantially affects tomato fruit yield. Although
drought stress influences flowering time, the molecular mechanism underlying drought …

Enhancing plant resistance against pests and diseases by priming plant immunity is an
attractive concept for crop protection because it provides long-lasting broad-spectrum …

Induced resistance (IR), which enables plants to increase their resilience against insect
pests and microbial pathogens by promoting their own immunity, has been recognized for its …

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins play critical roles in plant immunity.
However, how NLRs are regulated and activate defense signaling is not fully understood …

N-hydroxy pipecolic acid (NHP) plays an important role in plant immunity. In contrast to its
biosynthesis, our current knowledge with respect to the transcriptional regulation of the NHP …

The inducer β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) participates in the immune response in various
plants. However, the specific mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade involved in …

Plant diseases caused by pathogens lead to economic and agricultural losses, while plant
resistance is defined by robustness and timing of defence response. Exposure to microbial …

Abstract β-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) is a nonprotein amino acid that induces plant defense
responses to numerous biotic and abiotic stresses. However, whether BABA treatment …
