Modern intensive agricultural practices face numerous challenges that pose major threats to
global food security. In order to address the nutritional requirements of the ever-increasing …

Rhizospheric plant–microbe interactions have dynamic importance in sustainable
agriculture systems that have a reduced reliance on agrochemicals. Rhizosphere signaling …

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 …

Introduction A broad spectrum of rhizosphere bacteria and fungi were shown to play a
central role for health, fitness and productivity of their host plants. However, implications of …

Increasing demand for safe food by an ever-growing human population emphasizes the
urgency for increasing crop yields and reducing the losses caused by abiotic and biotic …

Underground infection of Fusarium oxysporum resulted in great yield losses in
chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) industry. However, the effect of F …

In this study, we investigated Arabidopsis thaliana plants with altered levels of the enzyme
JASMONATE RESISTANT 1 (JAR1), which converts jasmonic acid (JA) to jasmonoyl‐l …

Astringency is a dry puckering mouthfeel mainly generated by the binding of tannins with
proteins in the mouth. Tannins confer benefits such as resistance to biotic stresses and have …

Salicinoids are salicyl alcohol-containing phenolic glycosides with strong antiherbivore
effects found only in poplars and willows. Their biosynthesis is poorly understood, but …

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins play important roles in responding to biotic and abiotic
stresses in plants. However, the molecular mechanisms of plant resistance to pathogens …
