Background Plant viral infections disturb defense regulatory networks during tissue invasion.
Emerging evidence demonstrates that a significant proportion of these alterations are …

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

Plant resistance against biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens is mediated by mutually
synergistic and antagonistic effects of salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) signals …

In plant immunity, the mutually antagonistic hormones salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid
(JA) are implicated in resistance to biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens, respectively …

Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that have small genomes with limited coding
capacity; therefore, they extensively use host intracellular machinery for their replication and …

Plants host a multipart immune signalling network to ward off pathogens. Pathogen attack
upon plant tissues can often lead to an amplified state of (induced) defence against …

Plant beneficial microorganisms improve the health and growth of the associated plants.
Application of beneficial microbes triggers an enhanced resistance state, also termed as …

During evolution, plants have developed sophisticated ways to cope with different biotic and
abiotic stresses. Phytohormones and secondary metabolites are known to play pivotal roles …
