In plants, salicylic acid (SA) is a hormone that mediates a plant's defense against pathogens.
SA also takes an active role in a plant's response to various abiotic stresses, including …

Reactive electrophilic species are ubiquitous in plant cells, where they contribute to specific
redox-regulated signaling events. Redox signaling is known to modulate gene expression …

Salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) are plant hormones that typically act
antagonistically in dicotyledonous plants and SA and JA signaling is often manipulated by …

Plants can send long-distance cell-to-cell signals from a single tissue subjected to stress to
the entire plant. This ability is termed “systemic signaling” and is essential for plant …

Plants being sessile in nature, are exposed to unwarranted threats as a result of constantly
changing environmental conditions. These adverse factors can have negative impacts on …

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), a naturally occurring small molecule, can protect
plants against abiotic stress after exogenous treatmenting with it. It is not known if melatonin …

Abstract The Green Revolution of the mid-20 th century transformed agriculture worldwide
and has resulted in environmental challenges. A new approach, the Second Green …

Leaf scald caused by Xanthomonas albilineans is one of the major bacterial diseases of
sugarcane that threaten the sugar industry worldwide. Pathogenic divergence among strains …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) serves as an important gaseous signaling molecule that is involved
in intra-and intercellular signal transduction in plant–environment interactions. In plants …

Key message We establish a fast and efficient transient silencing system that facilitates
functional studies of some genes, whose knockout leads to plant lethality. In plants, the …
