The tomato Sw-5b gene confers resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and encodes
a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) protein with an N-terminal Solanaceae …

Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) catalyzes the final step in Tyr degradation pathway
essential to animals but not well understood in plants. Previously, we found that mutation of …

Phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) is a crucial component of plant-induced defense against
biotrophic pathogens. Although the key players of the SA pathway are known, there are still …

Exogenous application of either salicylic acid (SA) or calcium chloride (CaCl 2) to alleviate
heat stress has been extensively studied. However, the effects of combined SA and CaCl 2 …

This chapter examines ionic, phytohormonal, proteomic and RNA signalling in planta,
highlighting specific examples of signalling between the scion and rootstock. It draws …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are key phytohormones involved in the regulation of major
processes of cell metabolism that guide plant growth. In the past decades, new evidence …

Phytohormones play a vital role in regulating plant developmental processes and signaling
for defense, but little is known of the specific functions of phytohormones in Pyropia …

There are no reports on plant growth regulators (PGR) or polyamines being used to
stimulate bract longevity in bougainvillea species, yet understanding how PGR and …

Drought and salinity are the most important environmental factors that hamper agricultural
productivity worldwide. Several adaptations and mitigation strategies are needed to deal …

The accumulation of cold temperature is an important factor for the release of bud dormancy
in grapevine. The stress generated by cold is related to changes in defense hormones such …
