In the face of yield losses caused by weeds, especially in low-input agricultural systems, and
environmental pollution due to the excessive use of synthetic herbicides, sustainable weed …

A number of bacteria, and some plants, produce large quantities of indole, which is
widespread in animal intestinal tracts and in the rhizosphere. Indole, as an interspecies and …

The rhizobiome is an important regulator of plant growth and health. Plants shape their
rhizobiome communities through production and release of primary and secondary root …

Plant secondary metabolites carry out numerous functions in interactions between plants
and a broad range of other organisms. Experimental evidence strongly supports the …

l-Tryptophan, l-phenylalanine, and l-tyrosine are aromatic amino acids (AAAs) that are used
for the synthesis of proteins and that in plants also serve as precursors of numerous natural …

Cytochrome P450s (P450s) have been at the center of herbicide metabolism research as a
result of their ability to endow selectivity in crops and resistance in weeds. In the last 20 …

Herbivore-induced volatile organic compounds prime non-attacked plant tissues to respond
more strongly to subsequent attacks. However, the key volatiles that trigger this primed state …

The rhg1-b allele of soybean is widely used for resistance against soybean cyst nematode
(SCN), the most economically damaging pathogen of soybeans in the United States. Gene …

Plant natural products are of great value for agriculture, medicine and a wide range of other
industrial applications. The discovery of new plant natural product pathways is currently …

Plant-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play pivotal roles in interactions with
insect herbivores. Individual VOCs can be directly toxic or deterrent, serve as signal …
