Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

Plants synthesize jasmonates (JAs) in response to developmental cues or environmental
stresses, in order to coordinate plant growth, development or defense against pathogens …

The family of small auxin up-regulated RNA (SAUR) genes is a family of auxin-responsive

Somatic embryogenesis is an example of induced cellular totipotency, where embryos
develop from vegetative cells rather than from gamete fusion. Somatic embryogenesis can …

The non-random three-dimensional organization of genomes is critical for many cellular
