Plant hormones are essential for regulating the interactions between plants and their
complex biotic and abiotic environments. Each hormone initiates a specific molecular …

The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) not only is a well-known signal molecule mediating
plant immunity, but also is involved in plant growth regulation. However, while its role in …

Plant diseases are among the major causes of crop yield losses around the world. To confer
disease resistance, conventional breeding relies on the deployment of single resistance (R) …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a key plant hormone required for establishing resistance to many
pathogens. SA biosynthesis involves two main metabolic pathways with multiple steps: the …

Plant growth and resilience require balancing an inherently oxidative metabolism with
powerful antioxidant systems that help maintain homeostasis. When the environment …

Salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) often play distinct roles in plant defence against
pathogens. Research from Arabidopsis thaliana has established that SA‐and JA‐mediated …

Plant cell walls are complex structures subject to dynamic remodeling in response to
developmental and environmental cues and play essential functions in disease resistance …

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

Salicylic acid (SA) is an active secondary metabolite that occurs in bacteria, fungi, and
plants. SA and its derivatives (collectively called salicylates) are synthesized from …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone with a critical role in plant defense against
pathogen infection. Despite extensive research over the past 30 year or so, SA biosynthesis …
