Plants are under relentless challenge by pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes, for
whom they provide a resource of living space and nutrients. Upon detection of pathogens …

Lipids are one of the major components of biological membranes including the plasma
membrane, which is the interface between the cell and the environment. It has become clear …

Jasmonic acid (JA) or methyl jasmonate (MeJA) are master regulators of plant development
and stress response against pathogens and environmental fluctuations. Thus, JA is an …

Lipid-derived jasmonates (JAs) play a crucial role in a variety of plant development and
defense mechanisms. In recent years, significant progress has been made toward …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continually generated as a consequence of the normal
metabolism in aerobic organisms. Accumulation and release of ROS into cell take place in …

Plants synthesize jasmonates (JAs) in response to developmental cues or environmental
stresses, in order to coordinate plant growth, development or defense against pathogens …

Background Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic
stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed …

Until recently, most studies on the role of hormones in plant-pathogen interactions focused
on salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET). It is now clear that pathogen …

Nonenzymatic lipid oxidation is usually viewed as deleterious. But if this is the case, then
why does it occur so frequently in cells? Here we review the mechanisms of membrane …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids present in plant membranes react with reactive oxygen species
through so-called lipid oxidation events. They generate great diversity of highly-reactive lipid …
