Transcriptional regulation is a central process in plant immunity. The induction or repression
of defense genes is orchestrated by signaling networks that are directed by plant hormones …

For more than 200 years, the plant hormone salicylic acid (SA) has been studied for its
medicinal use in humans. However, its extensive signaling role in plants, particularly in …

Abstract The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transcription factor WRKY33 is essential for
defense toward the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. Here, we aimed at identifying early …

Stress acclimating plants respond to abiotic and biotic stress by remodeling membrane
fluidity and by releasing α-linolenic (18: 3) from membrane lipids. The modification of …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) provides enhanced, long-lasting systemic immunity to
secondary infection by a range of biotrophic, hemibiotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens …

Necrotrophic pathogens are important plant pathogens that cause many devastating plant
diseases. Despite their impact, our understanding of the plant defense response to …

Autophagy is a pathway for degradation of cytoplasmic components. In plants, autophagy
plays an important role in nutrient recycling during nitrogen or carbon starvation, and in …

Signaling induced upon a reduction in oleic acid (18: 1) levels simultaneously up-regulates
salicylic acid (SA)-mediated responses and inhibits jasmonic acid (JA)-inducible defenses …

A rapid and sensitive method was developed for simultaneous quantification of multiple
classes of phytohormones and some related metabolites in crude plant extracts without …

Lipids and lipid metabolites influence pathogenesis and resistance mechanisms associated
with plant-microbe interactions. Some microorganisms sense their presence on a host by …
