To confer resistance against pathogens and pests in plants, typically dominant resistance
genes are deployed. However, because resistance is based on recognition of a single …

Until recently, most studies on the role of hormones in plant-pathogen interactions focused
on salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET). It is now clear that pathogen …

Phytopathogens can manipulate plant hormone signaling to access nutrients and counteract
defense responses. Pseudomonas syringae produces coronatine, a toxin that mimics the …

Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to regulate various aspects of growth and development;
it also serves as a critical signal for activating disease resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana and …

The tradeoff between growth and defense is a critical aspect of plant immunity. Therefore,
the plant immune response needs to be tightly regulated. Salicylic acid (SA) is an important …

Transcription activator‐like (TAL) effectors are major virulence factors secreted by the type III
secretion systems of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) and X. oryzae pv. oryzae …

Defence phytohormone pathways evolved to recognize and counter multiple stressors within
the environment. Salicylic acid responsive pathways regulate the defence response to …

Salicylic acid (SA) plays an essential role in the growth and development of plants, and in
their response to abiotic stress. Previous studies have mostly focused on the effects of …

The role of methyl salicylate (MeSA) production was studied in indirect and direct defence
responses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) to the spider mite Tetranychus urticae and the …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a simple phenolic acid with hormonal function synthesized from the
amino acid phenylalanine or chorismate depending on the plant species, developmental …
