The diversity of secondary compounds in the plant kingdom is huge. About 200,000
compounds are known, which are grouped into amines, non-protein amino acids, peptides …

This article is part of the Distinguished Review Article Series in Conceptual and
Methodological Breakthroughs in Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions. Salicylic acid (SA) is …

Aphids transmit viruses and are destructive crop pests. Plants that have been attacked by
aphids release volatile compounds to elicit airborne defence (AD) in neighbouring plants …

Climatic conditions are key determinants of plant growth, whether at the scale of temperature
regulation of the cell cycle or at the scale of the geographic limits for a particular species …

Plant hormones play a vital role in promoting growth, development and metabolism of the
plant, as well as act as a protector against various environmental stresses. In particular …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a naturally occurring phenolic compound. SA plays an important role in
the regulation of plant growth, development, ripening, and defense responses. The role of …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential hormone in plant immunity, but its receptor has remained
elusive for decades. The transcriptional coregulator NPR1 is central to the activation of SA …

The general phenylpropanoid metabolism generates an enormous array of secondary
metabolites based on the few intermediates of the shikimate pathway as the core unit. The …

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 …

Salicylic acid (SA), an endogenous plant growth regulator has been found to generate a
wide range of metabolic and physiological responses in plants thereby affecting their growth …
