High-value active ingredients in medicinal plants have attracted research attention because
of their benefits for human health, such as the antimalarial artemisinin, anticardiovascular …

Plants in their natural habitat have to face multiple stresses simultaneously. Evolutionary
adaptation of developmental, physiological, and biochemical parameters give advantage …

Floral scents and fruit aromas are crucial volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in plants. They
are used in defense mechanisms, along with mechanisms to attract pollinators and seed …

Carotenoids are vital phytonutrients widely recognised for their health benefits. Therefore, it
is vital to thoroughly investigate the metabolic regulatory network underlying carotenoid …

Plants are challenged by a variety of biotic or abiotic stresses, which can affect their growth
and development, productivity, and geographic distribution. In order to survive adverse …

Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

The WRKY transcription factor (TF) gene family expanded greatly in the evolutionary
process from green algae to flowering plants through whole genome, segmental, and …

Plants produce a large variety of secondary metabolites including alkaloids, glucosinolates,
terpenoids and phenylpropanoids. These compounds play key roles in plant–environment …

Jasmonates (JAs) act as conserved elicitors of plant secondary metabolism. JA perception
triggers extensive transcriptional reprogramming leading to the concerted activation of entire …

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 …
