Jasmonic acid (JA) and its derivatives (jasmonates, JAs) are phytohormones with essential
roles in plant defense against pathogenesis and herbivorous arthropods. Both the up-and …

The pEAQ vectors are a series of plasmids designed to allow easy and quick production of
recombinant proteins in plants. Their main feature is the use of the Cowpea Mosaic Virus …

Jasmonic acid (JA) is well known to promote lateral root formation but the mechanisms by
which JA signalling is integrated into the pathways responsible for lateral root formation, and …

Rice (Oryza sativa) produces diterpenoid phytoalexins (DP s), momilactones and
phytocassanes as major phytoalexins. Accumulation of DP s is induced in rice by blast …

Highlights•Transient expression is an effective method for the co-expression of proteins.•A
number of vectors are available to facilitate this use.•They can be used to produce complex …

WRKY transcription factors form a large family of plant-specific transcription factors and
participate in plant defense responses either as positive or negative regulators. In this study …

Abstract JASMONATE ZIM-domain (JAZ) proteins act as transcriptional repressors of
jasmonic acid (JA) responses and play a crucial role in the regulation of host immunity in …

Plasticity of root growth in response to environmental cues and stresses is a fundamental
characteristic of land plants. However, the molecular basis underlying the regulation of root …

Key message This study describes biological functions of the bHLH transcription factor
RERJ1 involved in the jasmonate response and the related defense-associated metabolic …

The GT‐1 cis‐element widely exists in many plant gene promoters. However, the molecular
mechanism that underlies the response of the GT‐1 cis‐element to abiotic and biotic …
