Plants can acquire an improved resistance against pathogen attacks by exogenous
application of natural or artificial compounds. In a process called chemical priming …

Food security has become the most challenging task in the current scenario of population
growth and the future perspective in the everchanging environment. Cultivation and …

Plant response to pathogens attacks generally comes at the expense of growth. Defense
priming is widely accepted as an efficient strategy used for augmenting resistance with …

Green mold, caused by Penicillium digitatum, is the most economically important
postharvest disease of orange fruit worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the …

To be protected from biological threats, plants have evolved an immune system comprising
constitutive and inducible defenses. For example, upon perception of certain stimuli, plants …

Plants developed sophisticated mechanisms to perceive environmental stimuli and generate
appropriate signals to maintain optimal growth and stress responses. A fascinating strategy …

Selected β-amino acids, such as β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) and R-β-homoserine (RBH),
can prime plants for resistance against a broad spectrum of diseases. Here, we describe a …

Rhodiola crenulata (Hook. f. & Thomson) H. Ohba is an alpine medicinal plant that can
survive in extreme high altitude environments. However, its changes to extreme high altitude …

White mold, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a challenging
disease to common bean cultivation worldwide. In the current study, two non-proteinogenic …

This study explores the role of endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in modulating plant
responses to pollution stress and its effect on pollutant accumulation, with a focus on …
