Plant viruses pose serious threats to stable crop yield. The majority of them are transmitted
by insects, which cause secondary damage to the plant host from the herbivore-vector's …

Plants and microbial pathogens often engage in a fierce war that determines their survival.
Host plants have evolved sophisticated regulatory mechanisms to fine-tune defense …

Lipid-derived jasmonates (JAs) play a crucial role in a variety of plant development and
defense mechanisms. In recent years, significant progress has been made toward …

Herbivorous insects represent one of the major threats to sessile plants. To cope with
herbivore challenges, plants have evolved sophisticated defense systems, in which the lipid …

Plants synthesize jasmonates (JAs) in response to developmental cues or environmental
stresses, in order to coordinate plant growth, development or defense against pathogens …

As sessile and autotrophic organisms, plants have evolved sophisticated pathways to
produce a rich array of specialized metabolites, many of which are biologically active and …

Plants and their biotic enemies, such as microbial pathogens and herbivorous insects, are
engaged in a desperate battle which would determine their survival–death fate. Plants have …

Acute and precise signal perception and transduction are essential for plant defense against
insects. Insect elicitors—that is, the biologically active molecules from insects' oral secretion …

Amongst all the phytohormones, jasmonates are most important signaling molecule
associated with plant defense against herbivores as they activate the expression of both …

Insect herbivory causes severe damage to plants and threatens the world's food production.
During evolutionary adaptation, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to rapidly …
