During the course of their ontogenesis plants are continuously exposed to a large variety of
abiotic stress factors which can damage tissues and jeopardize the survival of the organism …

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system (UPS) is a rapid regulatory mechanism for selective
protein degradation in plants and plays crucial roles in growth and development. There is …

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 …

Abstract The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transcription factor WRKY33 is essential for
defense toward the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. Here, we aimed at identifying early …

Plants inhabit environments crowded with infectious microbes that pose constant threats to
their survival. Necrotrophic pathogens are notorious for their aggressive and wide-ranging …

Ubiquitin is a small, highly conserved, ubiquitously expressed eukaryotic protein with
immensely important and diverse regulatory functions. A well-studied function of ubiquitin is …

Ubiquitin is well established as a major modifier of signalling in eukaryotes. However, the
extent to which plants rely on ubiquitin for regulating their lifecycle is only recently becoming …

The Arabidopsis mutant wrky33 is highly susceptible to Botrytis cinerea. We identified> 1680
Botrytis-induced WRKY33 binding sites associated with 1576 Arabidopsis genes …

Transcriptional reprogramming forms a major part of a plant's response to pathogen
infection. Many individual components and pathways operating during plant defense have …

Owing to a sessile lifestyle in nature, plants are routinely faced with diverse hostile
environments such as various abiotic and biotic stresses, which lead to accumulation of free …
