In their struggle for life, plants can employ sophisticated strategies to defend themselves
against potentially harmful pathogens and insects. One mechanism by which plants can …

The non-specific lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) constitute a large protein family found in all
land plants. They are small proteins characterized by a tunnel-like hydrophobic cavity, which …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is an inducible defense mechanism in plants that
confers enhanced resistance against a variety of pathogens. SAR is activated in the …

Oxidative stress resulting from increased availability of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a
key component of many responses of plants to challenging environmental conditions. The …

As primary producers, plants are under constant pressure to defend themselves against
potentially deadly pathogens and herbivores. In this review, we describe short-and long …

Microalgal polysaccharides (PSs) may be an effective elicitor agent that can efficiently
protect plants against biotic stresses. In this study, wee investigates, the effect of PS …

Plants are invaded by an array of pathogens of which only a few succeed in causing
disease. The attack by others is countered by a sophisticated immune system possessed by …

Following pathogen infection, activation of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in uninfected
tissues requires transmission of a signal (s) from the infected tissue via the vasculature …

Abstract Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is an important metabolite that contributes to the
growth and disease-related physiologies of prokaryotes, plants, animals and humans alike …

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