Vertical farming can produce food in a climate-resilient manner, potentially emitting zero
pesticides and fertilizers, and with lower land and water use than conventional agriculture …

Systemic immunity triggered by local plant–microbe interactions is studied as systemic
acquired resistance (SAR) or induced systemic resistance (ISR) depending on the site of …

Wearable plant sensors hold tremendous potential for smart agriculture. We report a lower
leaf surface-attached multimodal wearable sensor for continuous monitoring of plant …

Emerging plant diseases, caused by pathogens, pests, and climate change, are critical
threats to not only the natural ecosystem but also human life. To mitigate crop loss due to …

The plant microbiomes play important role in plant growth promotion and soil fertility for
sustainable agriculture. Plant and soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of …

Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a volatile hormone involved in a number of plant processes,
acting as a signal in response to external stresses and modulating the biosynthesis of other …

Plants communicate via the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with many
animals as well as other plants. We still know little about how VOCs are perceived by …

Globally, despite the intense agricultural production, the output is expected to be limited by
emerging infectious plant diseases and adverse impacts of climate change. The annual …

Plant volatile organic compounds are the most abundant and structurally diverse plant
secondary metabolites. They play a key role in plant lifespan via direct and indirect plant …

Plant-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play pivotal roles in interactions with
insect herbivores. Individual VOCs can be directly toxic or deterrent, serve as signal …
