Plants are consistently exposed to pathogens throughout their life cycle and have developed
10 sophisticated and effective regulatory mechanisms to protect themselves against …

Phytohormones mediate plant development and responses to stresses caused by biotic
agents or abiotic factors. The functions of phytohormones in responses to viral infection have …

Hormones are tuners of plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. They are involved in
various complicated networks, through which they modulate responses to different stimuli …

Pathogenic viruses are a constant threat to all organisms, including plants. However, in
plants, a small group of cells (stem cells) protect themselves from viral invasion. Recently …

Understanding the mechanisms by which plants trigger host defenses in response to viruses
has been a challenging problem owing to the multiplicity of factors and complexity of …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most economically valuable vegetable crops
in the world (Krishna et al., 2016). Tomato leaf mold caused by the biotrophic pathogen …

Phytohormones are critical in various aspects of plant biology such as growth regulations
and defense strategies against pathogens. Plant–virus interactions retard plant growth …

Viral infections in plants pose major challenges to agriculture and global food security in the
twenty-first century. Plants have evolved a diverse range of specialized metabolites (PSMs) …

Plants respond to pathogens using elaborate networks of genetic interactions. Recently,
significant progress has been made in understanding RNA silencing and how viruses …
