Plant roots communicate with microbes in a sophisticated manner through chemical
communication within the rhizosphere, thereby leading to biofilm formation of beneficial …

Fungi and plants are rich sources of thousands of secondary metabolites. The genetically
coded possibilities for secondary metabolite production, the stimuli of the production, and …

Cereal crop production is severely affected by seed-borne bacterial diseases across the
world. Locally occurring disease resistance in various crops remains elusive. Here, we have …

The plant hormone ABA (abscisic acid) plays an extremely important role in plant growth
and adaptive stress, including but are not limited to seed germination, stomatal closure …

Adaptive plant responses to specific abiotic stresses or biotic agents are fine-tuned by a
network of hormonal signaling cascades, including abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene, jasmonic …

The global environment is dominated by various small exotic substances, known as
secondary metabolites, produced by plants and microorganisms. Plants and fungi are …

We investigated the relationships of the two immune-regulatory plant metabolites, salicylic
acid (SA) and pipecolic acid (Pip), in the establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance …

Photosynthesis is a universal process for plant survival, and immune defense is also a key
process in adapting to the growth environment. Various studies have indicated that these …

Plants are constantly challenged by a multitude of pathogens and pests, which causes
massive yield and quality losses annually. A promising approach to reduce such losses is to …

The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) is a small phenolic compound that regulates diverse
physiological processes, in particular plant resistance against pathogens. Understanding SA …
