In recent years, mass spectrometry-based proteomics has provided scientists with the
tremendous capability to study plants more precisely than previously possible. Currently …

Pathogen infection triggers complex signaling networks in plant cells that ultimately result in
either susceptibility or resistance. We have made substantial progress in dissecting many of …

Filamentous (oomycete and fungal) plant pathogens deliver cytoplasmic effector proteins
into host cells to facilitate disease. How RXLR effectors from the potato late blight pathogen …

Summary Invertase (INV)‐mediated sucrose (Suc) hydrolysis, leading to the irreversible
production of glucose (Glc) and fructose (Frc), plays an essential role in abiotic stress …

Upon exposure to biotic and abiotic stress, plants have developed strategies to adapt to the
challenges imposed by these unfavorable conditions. The energetically demanding …

The At-Hook Motif Nuclear Localized Protein (AHL) gene family encodes embryophyte-
specific nuclear proteins with DNA binding activity. They modulate gene expression and …

PLATZ (plant AT-rich sequence and zinc-binding) family proteins with two conserved zinc-
dependent DNA-binding motifs are transcription factors specific to the plant kingdom. The …

Early blight disease, caused by Alternaria alternate, is one of the main tomato diseases in
the world. To better understand the mechanisms involved in tomato resistance to A …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants is a defense response that provides resistance
against a wide range of pathogens at the whole-plant level following primary infection …

Background Age-related resistance (ARR) is a developmentally regulated phenomenon
conferring resistance to pathogens or pests. Although ARR has been observed in several …
