The infection of plants with pathogens results in the induction of defence reactions as well as
changes in carbohydrate metabolism. On the one hand, the pathogen attempts to …

Plants activate distinct defense responses depending on the lifestyle of the attacker
encountered. In these responses, salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) play important …

Plants have evolved an array of defense mechanisms to protect themselves against the wide
variety of pathogens and pests with which they are confronted. Included in these defense …

Environmental pollution, global warming and climate change exacerbate the impact of biotic
and abiotic stresses on plant growth and yield. Plants have evolved sophisticated defence …

Plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) play essential roles in the adaptation to harsh
environments and function in plant defense responses. PSMs act as key components of …

​​ Abiotic stress has a detrimental impact on the living organisms in a specific environment
and constitutes a major constraint to global agricultural production. The adverse …

Plant secondary metabolites are unique sources for pharmaceuticals, food additives, flavors,
