Understanding the plant immune system is crucial for using genetics to protect crops from
diseases. Plants resist pathogens via a two-tiered innate immune detection-and-response …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential plant defense hormone that promotes immunity against
biotrophic and semibiotrophic pathogens. It plays crucial roles in basal defense and the …

Plants have both cell-surface and intracellular receptors to recognize diverse self-and non-
self molecules. Cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize extracellular …

Plant immune responses are mainly activated by two types of receptor. Pattern recognition
receptors localized on the plasma membrane perceive extracellular microbial features, and …

Plants achieve an optimal balance between growth and defense by a fine-tuned
biosynthesis and metabolic inactivation of immune-stimulating small molecules. Recent …

Plant–pathogen interactions induce a signal transmission series that stimulates the plant's
host defense system against pathogens and this, in turn, leads to disease resistance …

Plant response to pathogens attacks generally comes at the expense of growth. Defense
priming is widely accepted as an efficient strategy used for augmenting resistance with …

Salicylic acid (SA) plays a pivotal role in plant response to biotic and abiotic stress. Several
core SA signaling regulators and key proteins in SA biosynthesis have been well …

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

N-hydroxypipecolic acid (NHP) accumulates in the plant foliage in response to a localized
microbial attack and induces systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in distant leaf tissue …
