Primary metabolism plays an important role in plant growth and development, however the
relationship between primary metabolism and the adaptive immune response is largely …

Verticillium wilt causes massive annual losses of cotton yield, but the mechanism of cotton
resistance to Verticillium dahliae is complex and poorly understood. In this study, a …

Background Plant immune responses can be induced by endogenous and exogenous
signaling molecules. Recently, amino acids and their metabolites have been reported to …

Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, is one of the most damaging and widespread
soil-borne cotton diseases. The molecular mechanisms underlying the cotton defense …

Salicylic acid (SA), an essential secondary messenger for plant defence responses, plays a
role in maintaining a balance (trade‐off) between plant growth and resistance induction, but …

Salicylic acid (SA) and brassinosteroids (BRs) are well known to regulate diverse processes
of plant development and stress responses, but the mechanisms by which these …

Plants endure challenging environments in which they are constantly threatened by diverse
pathogens. The soil‐borne fungus Verticillium dahliae is a devastating pathogen affecting …

Plant auxin is essential in plant growth and development. However, the molecular
mechanisms of auxin involvement in plant immunity are unclear. Here, we addressed the …

Lipids are major and essential constituents of plant cells and provide energy for various
metabolic processes. However, the function of the lipid signal in defence against Verticillium …

Patatin-like proteins (PLPs) have non-specific lipid acyl hydrolysis (LAH) activity, which can
hydrolyze membrane lipids into fatty acids and lysophospholipids. The vital role of PLPs in …
