Key message This review for the first time gathers the current state of knowledge on the role
of plant and microbial methyl salicylate (MeSA) signaling processes in forest ecosystems. It …

Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is a long-distance signal transduction chemical that plays an
important role in plant responses to abiotic stress and herbivore and pathogen attacks …

In the natural environment, plants communicate with various microorganisms (pathogenic or
beneficial) and exhibit differential responses. In recent years, research on microbial volatile …

In plants, the mobile signal for systemic acquired resistance (SAR), an organism-wide state
of enhanced defense to subsequent infections, has been elusive. By stimulating immune …

The emergence of plant hormone signaling pathways is deeply intertwined with land plant
evolution. In angiosperms, two plant hormones, salicylic Acid (SA) and Jasmonates (JAs) …

Plants emit volatile compounds that can act as a communication method to insects,
neighboring plants and pathogens. Plants respond to leaf and root damage by herbivores …

Significant ecosystem-scale emissions of methylsalicylate (MeSA), a semivolatile plant
hormone thought to act as the mobile signal for systemic acquired resistance (SAR), were …

Simple Summary Plants form beneficial symbioses with endophytes, arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi, and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia. In addition to their role in plant growth and development …

Plant defence responses to various biotic stresses via systemic acquired resistance (SAR)
are induced by avirulent pathogens and chemical compounds, including certain plant …

Systemic immunity triggered by local plant–microbe interactions is studied as systemic
acquired resistance (SAR) or induced systemic resistance (ISR) depending on the site of …
