Plants deploy a finely tuned balance between growth and defence responses for better
fitness. Crosstalk between defence signalling hormones such as salicylic acid (SA) and …

Highlights•Hormonal crosstalk is commonly observed during plant immunity.•Through
crosstalk plants can balance immunity, stress tolerance and growth.•Synthetic biology …

Upon infection with insect-borne microbial pathogens, plants are exposed to two types of
damage simultaneously. Over the past decade, numerous molecular studies have been …

Background Being sessile organisms, plants are often exposed to a wide array of abiotic
and biotic stresses. Abiotic stress conditions include drought, heat, cold and salinity …

As sessile organisms, plants are frequently exposed to different stress conditions caused by
either biotic or abiotic factors. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie plant interaction …

ABA is involved in plant responses to a broad range of pathogens and exhibits complex
antagonistic and synergistic relationships with salicylic acid (SA) and ethylene (ET) …

Combined abiotic and biotic stresses modify plant defense signaling, leading to either the
activation or suppression of defense responses. Although the majority of combined abiotic …

Phytohormones are not only instrumental in regulating developmental processes in plants
but also play important roles for the plant's responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. In …

Plants activate defence responses to protect themselves against microbial pathogens and
herbivorous insects. However, induction of defences comes at a price, as the associated …

Background Among the environmental limitations that affect plant growth, viruses cause
major crop losses worldwide and represent serious threats to food security. Significant …
