Reactive oxygen species (ROS) originate as a natural byproduct in standard metabolism of
oxygen activities. The principal sites of ROS generation in the cell are apoplast …

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 …

Land plants are exposed to not only biotic stresses such as pathogen infection and
herbivore wounding, but abiotic stresses such as cold, heat, drought, and salt. Elaborate …

To ensure the food security of future generations and to address the challenge of the 'no
hunger zone'proposed by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), crop production …

Chemical exchange often serves as the first step in plant–microbe interactions and
exchanges of various signals, nutrients, and metabolites continue throughout the interaction …

In most plants, major unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) are three C18 species, namely, oleic
(18: 1), linoleic (18: 2), and α-linolenic (18: 3) acids. These simple compounds play multiple …

Nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as an important signal molecule in plants, having myriad
roles in plant development. In addition, NO also orchestrates both biotic and abiotic stress …

Wild tomato species represent a rich gene pool for numerous desirable traits lost during
domestication. Here, we exploited an introgression population representing wild desert …

Background As universal energy currency, intracellular ATP (iATP) shortages in horticultural
crops during postharvest stresses and senescence. In addition to function as intracellular …

Nanoplastics are emerging pollutants of global concern. Agricultural soil is becoming a
primary sink for nanoplastics generated from plastic debris. The uptake and accumulation of …
