The plant hormone jasmonate (JA) exerts direct control over the production of chemical
defense compounds that confer resistance to a remarkable spectrum of plant-associated …

Plants have evolved sophisticated systems to cope with herbivore challenges. When plants
perceive herbivore-derived physical and chemical cues, such as elicitors in insects' oral …

Abstract The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transcription factor WRKY33 is essential for
defense toward the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. Here, we aimed at identifying early …

Phloem-feeding insects feed on plant phloem using their stylets. While ingesting phloem
sap, these insects secrete saliva to circumvent plant defenses. Previous studies have shown …

Plant oxylipins form a constantly growing group of signaling molecules that comprise
oxygenated fatty acids and metabolites derived therefrom. In the last decade, the …

Jasmonates regulate specific developmental processes and plant adaptation to environment
by controlling responses to external biotic or abiotic stimuli. The core events of jasmonate …

The phytohormone jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile) signals through the COI1-JAZ coreceptor
complex to control key aspects of plant growth, development, and immune function. Despite …

The jasmonate hormonal pathway regulates important defensive and developmental
processes in plants. Jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile) has been identified as a specific ligand …

A plant-specific family of WRKY transcription factors regulates plant responses to pathogens
and abiotic stresses. Here, we identify two insect-responsive WRKY genes in the native …

​​ Abiotic stress has a detrimental impact on the living organisms in a specific environment
and constitutes a major constraint to global agricultural production. The adverse …
