The hormone jasmonate (JA), which functions in plant immunity, regulates resistance to
pathogen infection and insect attack through triggering genome-wide transcriptional …

Evolutionary success in plants is largely dependent on the successful transition from
vegetative to reproductive growth. In the lifetime of a plant, flowering is not only an essential …

Drought is one of the leading factors responsible for the reduction in crop yield worldwide.
Due to climate change, in future, more areas are going to be affected by drought and for …

Next to numerous abiotic stresses, plants are constantly exposed to a variety of pathogens
within their environment. Thus, their ability to survive and prosper during the course of …

Iron (Fe) is one of the essential micronutrients required by both plants and animals. In
humans, Fe deficiency causes anemia, the most prevalent nutritional disorder. Most people …

Plants are adapted to sense numerous stress stimuli and mount efficient defense responses
by directing intricate signaling pathways. They respond to undesirable circumstances to …

Abstract The LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN (LBD)-containing genes are plant-
specific genes that play important roles in lateral organ development. In this study, we …

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 …

Plant immune responses mediated by the hormone jasmonoyl-l-isoleucine (JA-Ile) are
metabolically costly and often linked to reduced growth. Although it is known that JA-Ile …

Plant defense against herbivores is costly and often associated with growth repression. The
phytohormone jasmonate (JA) plays a central role in prioritizing defense over growth during …
