A multitude of biotic and abiotic stress factors do harm to plants by bringing about diseases
and inhibiting normal growth and development. As a pivotal signaling molecule, salicylic …

Plant noncoding RNA transcripts have gained increasing attention in recent years due to
growing evidence that they can regulate developmental plasticity. In this review article, we …

Plant viruses are a group of intracellular pathogens that persistently threaten global food
security. Significant advances in plant virology have been achieved by Chinese scientists …

As sessile organisms, plants are continuously exposed to heterogeneous and changing
environments and constantly need to adapt their growth strategies. They have evolved …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of RNAs greater than 200 nucleotides in
length exhibiting low or no coding potential that are involved in diverse biological functions …

The development of plants is largely dependent on their growth environment. To better
adapt to a particular habitat, plants have evolved various subtle regulatory mechanisms for …

Apple is one of the main cultivated fruit trees worldwide. Both biotic and abiotic stresses,
especially fungal diseases, have serious effects on the growth and fruit quality of apples …

Biotic stress tolerance in plants is complex as it relies solely on specific innate immune
responses from different plant species combating diverse pathogens. Each component of …

Robust plant immune systems are fine-tuned by both protein-coding genes and non-coding
RNAs. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) refer to RNAs with a length of more than 200 nt …

In natural habitats, plants are exploited by pathogens in biotrophic or necrotrophic ways.
Concurrently, plants have evolved their defense systems for rapid perception of pathogenic …
