Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) grow as saprotrophs in soil and interact with plants, forming
mutualistic associations with roots of many economically and ecologically important forest …

The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) is known to regulate plant immunity against
pathogens. Plants synthesize SA via the isochorismate synthase (ICS) pathway or the …

This work reports a first-of-its-kind hybrid wearable physicochemical sensor suite that we call
PlantFit for simultaneous measurement of two key phytohormones, salicylic acid, and …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a phytohormone that plays important roles in many aspects of plant life,
notably in plant defenses against pathogens. Key mechanisms of SA signal transduction …

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium) is an economically significant fruit species in the genus
Prunus. However, in contrast to other important fruit trees in this genus, only one draft …

Methyl salicylate is a volatile compound, the synthesis of which takes place via the salicylic
acid pathway in plants. Both compounds can be involved in the development of systemic …

Our previous study has indicated that a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), lncRNA39026, can
be responsive to Phytophthora infestans infection. However, the function and regulation …

Root microbiota composition shifts during the development of most annual plants. Although
some perennial plants can live for centuries, the host–microbiome partnerships and …

Background The complex systemic responses of tree species to fight pathogen infection
necessitate attention due to the potential for yield protection in forestry. Results In this paper …

Long-lived tree species need to cope with changing environments and pathogens during
their lifetime. Fungal diseases cause damage to trees growth and forest nurseries. As model …
