Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is an induced immune mechanism in plants. Unlike
vertebrate adaptive immunity, SAR is broad spectrum, with no specificity to the initial …

Plants are essential for life and are extremely diverse organisms with unique molecular
capabilities. Here we present a quantitative atlas of the transcriptomes, proteomes and …

Cytokinins are N 6 substituted adenine derivatives that affect many aspects of plant growth
and development, including cell division, shoot initiation and growth, leaf senescence …

In recent years salicylic acid (SA) has been the focus of intensive research due to its function
as an endogenous signal mediating local and systemic plant defence responses against …

Protein homeostasis is epitomized by an equilibrium between protein biosynthesis and
degradation: the 'life and death'of proteins. Approximately one-third of newly synthesized …

Plant hormones play central roles in the ability of plants to adapt to changing environments,
by mediating growth, development, nutrient allocation, and source/sink transitions. Although …

The protein ubiquitin is a covalent modifier of proteins, including itself. The ubiquitin system
encompasses the enzymes required for catalysing attachment of ubiquitin to substrates as …

Although the functions of a few effector proteins produced by bacterial and oomycete plant
pathogens have been elucidated in recent years, information for the vast majority of …

In plants, the cytokinin (CK) phytohormones regulate numerous biological processes,
including responses to environmental stresses, via a complex network of CK signaling. By …
