Plants have the ability to recognize and respond to a multitude of microorganisms.
Recognition of pathogens results in a massive reprogramming of the plant cell to activate …

Plants are constantly exposed to microorganisms in the environment and, as a result, have
evolved intricate mechanisms to recognize and defend themselves against potential …

Plants defend themselves from most microbial attacks via mechanisms including cell wall
fortification, production of antimicrobial compounds, and generation of reactive oxygen …

Plants evolved mechanisms to counteract bacterial infection by preparing yet uninfected
systemic tissues for an enhanced defense response, so-called systemic acquired resistance …

To successfully infect plants, pathogens secrete effector proteins to the plant apoplast or
inside plant cells, where they suppress plant immunity or interfere with other cellular …

A plant's resistance to herbivore attack is thought to be principally determined by its
secondary metabolism, which can be remarkably plastic and responsive to different grades …

In agro-ecosystem, plant pathogens hamper food quality, crop yield, and global food
security. Manipulation of naturally occurring defense mechanisms in host plants is an …

Interaction between metabolites and proteins drives cellular regulatory processes within and
between organisms. Recent reports highlight that numerous plant metabolites embrace …

A key unanswered question in plant biology is how a plant regulates metabolism to
maximize performance across an array of biotic and abiotic environmental stresses. In this …

Plants have evolved a complex immune system to perceive microbial pathogens and
