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

Besides defence pathways regulated by classical stress hormones, distinct amino acid
metabolic pathways constitute integral parts of the plant immune system. Mutations in …

Following a previous microbial inoculation, plants can induce broad-spectrum immunity to
pathogen infection, a phenomenon known as systemic acquired resistance (SAR). SAR …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a global response in plants induced at the site of
infection that leads to long-lasting and broad-spectrum disease resistance at distal …

Metabolic signals orchestrate plant defenses against microbial pathogen invasion. Here, we
report the identification of the non-protein amino acid pipecolic acid (Pip), a common Lys …

We investigated the relationships of the two immune-regulatory plant metabolites, salicylic
acid (SA) and pipecolic acid (Pip), in the establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance …

Trichoderma spp. are versatile opportunistic plant symbionts which can colonize the
apoplast of plant roots. Microarrays analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana roots inoculated with …

The tradeoff between growth and defense is a critical aspect of plant immunity. Therefore,
the plant immune response needs to be tightly regulated. Salicylic acid (SA) is an important …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is an inducible defense mechanism in plants that
confers enhanced resistance against a variety of pathogens. SAR is activated in the …

Following pathogen infection, activation of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in uninfected
tissues requires transmission of a signal (s) from the infected tissue via the vasculature …
