Beyond their function as structural barriers, plant cell walls are essential elements for the
adaptation of plants to environmental conditions. Cell walls are dynamic structures whose …

to colonise plant tissues.•Plant cell walls are hydrolysed by cell wall degrading enzymes …

Abstract Pattern-Triggered Immunity (PTI) in plants is activated upon recognition by Pattern
Recognition Receptors (PRRs) of Damage-and Microbe-Associated Molecular Patterns …

Boosting plant immunity by priming agents can lower agrochemical dependency in plant
production. Levan and levan‐derived oligosaccharides (LOS) act as priming agents against …

Rice direct seeding technology is an appealing alternative to traditional transplanting
because it conserves labor and irrigation resources. Nevertheless, there are two main …

Mechanical forces can affect chemical reactions in a way that thermal reactions cannot do,
which may have a variety of applications. In biomass conversion, the selective conversion of …

The perceived negative impacts of synthetic agrochemicals gave way to alternative,
biological plant protection strategies. The deployment of induced resistance, comprising …

While evolutionary studies indicate that the most ancient groups of organisms on Earth likely
descended from a common wall-less ancestor, contemporary organisms lacking a …

Biomass-derived oligo-and polysaccharides may act as elicitors, ie, bioactive molecules that
trigger plant immune responses. This is particularly important to increase the resistance of …

Plants recognize a variety of external signals and induce appropriate mechanisms to
increase their tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Precise recognition of attacking …
