Growth–defense tradeoffs are thought to occur in plants due to resource restrictions, which
demand prioritization towards either growth or defense, depending on external and internal …

Fusarium diseases of small grain cereals and maize cause significant yield losses
worldwide. Fusarium infections result in reduced grain yield and contamination with …

Metabolites reflect the integration of gene expression, protein interaction and other different
regulatory processes and are therefore closer to the phenotype than mRNA transcripts or …

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 …

Cyanogenic glycosides (CNglcs) are bioactive plant products derived from amino acids.
Structurally, these specialized plant compounds are characterized as α-hydroxynitriles …

Visible light is the basic energetic driver of plant biomass production through
photosynthesis. The constantly fluctuating availability of light and other environmental …

Plants co-evolved with an enormous variety of microbial pathogens and insect herbivores
under daily and seasonal variations in abiotic environmental conditions. Hence, plant cells …

The ability of plants to respond to a wide range of environmental stresses is highly flexible
and finely balanced through the interaction of hormonal plant growth regulators and the …

Plant hormones play important roles in regulating plant growth and defence by mediating
developmental processes and signalling networks involved in plant responses to a wide …

Plant tolerance to insect pests has been indicated to be a unique category of resistance,
however, very little information is available on the mechanism of tolerance against insect …
