WRKY transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators found
exclusively in plants. They have diverse biological functions in plant disease resistance …

WRKY transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in
plants and form integral parts of signalling webs that modulate many plant processes. Here …

Background Drought stress is one of the major causes of crop loss. WRKY transcription
factors, as one of the largest transcription factor families, play important roles in regulation of …

Transcriptional reprogramming forms a major part of a plant's response to pathogen
infection. Many individual components and pathways operating during plant defense have …

Abstract Plant glutathione transferases (EC 2.5. 1.18, GSTs) are an ancient, multimember
and diverse enzyme class. Plant GSTs have diverse roles in plant development …

This work characterized the role of the R2R3-MYB10 transcription factor (TF) in strawberry
fruit ripening. The expression of this TF takes place mainly in the fruit receptacle and is …

Necrotrophic fungi cause devastating diseases in both horticultural and agronomic crops,
but our understanding of plant defense responses against these pathogens is still limited. In …

Abstract Background and Aims Various biochars added to soil have been shown to improve
plant performance. Moreover, a wood biochar was found to induce tomato and pepper plant …

Artemisinin is a type of sesquiterpene lactone well known as an antimalarial drug, and is
