Systemic immunity triggered by local plant–microbe interactions is studied as systemic
acquired resistance (SAR) or induced systemic resistance (ISR) depending on the site of …

Fatty acids and lipids, which are major and essential constituents of all plant cells, not only
provide structural integrity and energy for various metabolic processes but can also function …

The EDS1 family of structurally unique lipase-like proteins EDS1, SAG101, and PAD4
evolved in seed plants, on top of existing phytohormone and nucleotide-binding–leucine …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important phytohormone that plays a vital role in a number of
physiological responses, including plant defense. The last two decades have witnessed a …

This study investigates the role of volatile organic compounds in systemic acquired
resistance (SAR), a salicylic acid (SA)-associated, broad-spectrum immune response in …

Plants can acquire an improved resistance against pathogen attacks by exogenous
application of natural or artificial compounds. In a process called chemical priming …

Plants respond to biotic stress by inducing a variety of responses, which not only protect
against the immediate diseases but also provide immunity from future infections. One …

Chloroplasts are key players in plant immune signaling, contributing to not only de novo
synthesis of defensive phytohormones but also the generation of reactive oxygen and …

Interorganellar cooperation maintained via exquisitely controlled retrograde-signaling
pathways is an evolutionary necessity for maintenance of cellular homeostasis. This …

Salicylic acid (SA)-mediated innate immune responses are activated in plants perceiving
volatile monoterpenes. Here, we show that monoterpene-associated responses are …
