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 …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone that is best known for mediating host
responses upon pathogen infection. Its role in plant defense activation is well established …

The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) controls biotic and abiotic plant stress responses.
Plastid-produced chorismate is a branch-point metabolite for SA biosynthesis. Most …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important phytohormone mediating both local and systemic defense
responses in plants. Despite over half a century of research, how plants biosynthesize SA …

The timing of flowering is determined by endogenous genetic components as well as
various environmental factors, such as day length, temperature, and stress. The genetic …

For more than 200 years, the plant hormone salicylic acid (SA) has been studied for its
medicinal use in humans. However, its extensive signaling role in plants, particularly in …

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

Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to regulate various aspects of growth and development;
it also serves as a critical signal for activating disease resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana and …

Auxin conjugates are thought to play important roles as storage forms for the active plant
hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). In its free form, IAA comprises only up to 25% of the total …
