Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of polyhydroxylated plant steroid hormones that are
crucial for many aspects of a plant's life. BRs were originally characterized for their function …

Growth–defense tradeoffs are thought to occur in plants due to resource restrictions, which
demand prioritization towards either growth or defense, depending on external and internal …

Plants have evolved multiple defense strategies to cope with pathogens, among which plant
immune signaling that relies on cell‐surface localized and intracellular receptors takes …

Brassinosteroids are plant steroid hormones that regulate diverse processes, such as cell
division and cell elongation, through gene regulatory networks that vary in space and time …

The cells of multicellular organisms receive extracellular signals using surface receptors.
The extracellular domains (ECDs) of cell surface receptors function as interaction platforms …

A key feature of innate immunity is the ability to recognize and respond to potential
pathogens in a highly sensitive and specific manner. In plants, the activation of pattern …

Cell surface receptors govern a multitude of signalling pathways in multicellular organisms.
In plants, prominent examples are the receptor kinases FLS2 and BRI1, which activate …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

In plants, the steroidal hormone brassinosteroid (BR) regulates numerous developmental
processes, including photomorphogenesis. Genetic, proteomic, and genomic studies in …

In plants and animals, innate immunity is triggered through pattern recognition receptors
(PRRs) in response to microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) to provide the first …
