In agro-ecosystem, plant pathogens hamper food quality, crop yield, and global food
security. Manipulation of naturally occurring defense mechanisms in host plants is an …

For the growing human population to be sustained during present climatic changes,
enhanced quality and quantity of crops are essential to enable food security worldwide. The …

When under stress, plants release molecules to activate their defense system. Detecting
these stress-related molecules offers the possibility to address stress conditions and prevent …

The phytohormones salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) are major players in plant
immunity. Numerous studies have provided evidence that SA-and JA-mediated signaling …

Salicylic acid (SA) is one of the potential plant growth regulators (PGRs) that regulate plant
growth and development by triggering many physiological and metabolic processes. It is …

This article focuses on the molecular and hormonal mechanisms underlying the control of
fleshy fruit ripening and quality. Recent research on tomato shows that ethylene, acting …

Plants often live in adverse environmental conditions and are exposed to various stresses,
such as heat, cold, heavy metals, salt, radiation, poor lighting, nutrient deficiency, drought, or …

Melatonin, a tryptophan-derived molecule, is endogenously generated in animal, plant,
fungal and prokaryotic cells. Given its antioxidant properties, it is involved in a myriad of …

Plants often face incompatible growing environments like drought, salinity, cold, frost, and
elevated temperatures that affect plant growth and development leading to low yield and, in …

In plants, salicylic acid (SA) is a hormone that mediates a plant's defense against pathogens.
SA also takes an active role in a plant's response to various abiotic stresses, including …
