Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential plant defense hormone that promotes immunity against
biotrophic and semibiotrophic pathogens. It plays crucial roles in basal defense and the …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone that is best known for mediating host
responses upon pathogen infection. Its role in plant defense activation is well established …

Pathogens hitting the plant cell wall is the first impetus that triggers the phenylpropanoid
pathway for plant defense. The phenylpropanoid pathway bifurcates into the production of …

Highlights•Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant defense hormone with critical roles in PTI, ETI and

Methodological Breakthroughs in Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions. Salicylic acid (SA) is …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a very simple phenolic compound (a C7H6O3 compound composed of
an aromatic ring, one carboxylic and a hydroxyl group) and this simplicity contrasts with its …

Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from the efforts of
soybean breeders and the development of breeding technology, large number of …

Studies with model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana have revealed that phytohormones
are central regulators of plant defense. The intricate network of phytohormone signaling …

Aromatic amino acid deaminases are key enzymes mediating carbon flux from primary to
secondary metabolism in plants. Recent studies have uncovered a tyrosine ammonia-lyase …

Plant–pathogen interactions induce a signal transmission series that stimulates the plant's
host defense system against pathogens and this, in turn, leads to disease resistance …
