Pathogen infection is a dynamic process. Here, we employ single-cell transcriptomics to
investigate plant response heterogeneity. By generating an Arabidopsis thaliana leaf atlas …

The growth–defense trade-off in plants is a phenomenon whereby plants must balance the
allocation of their resources between developmental growth and defense against attack by …

Allene oxide synthase (AOS), one of the key enzymes in the jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis
pathway, has been well documented in enhancing plant adaptability to the external …

Abstract Mitogen-activated protein Kinase Kinase 5 (MKK5) is a central hub in the complex
phosphorylation chain reaction of the Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) cascade …

The mechanisms of reproductive isolation that cause phenotypic diversification and
eventually speciation are a major topic of evolutionary research. Hybrid necrosis is a post …

Plant growth and response to environmental cues are largely driven by hormones. Salicylic
acid (SA)-and jasmonic acid (JA)-mediated defenses have been shown to be effective …

Key message The dm5. 3 major-effect QTL in cucumber encodes a homolog of Arabidopsis
sigma factor binding protein 1 (CsSIB1). CsSIB1 positively regulates defense responses …

Broad-spectrum disease resistance (BSR) is crucial for controlling plant diseases and relies
on immune signals that are subject to transcriptional and post-translational regulation. How …

Plants typically activate distinct defense pathways against various pathogens. Heightened
resistance to one pathogen often coincides with increased susceptibility to another …

Although the antagonistic effects of host resistance against biotrophic and necrotrophic
pathogens have been documented in various plants, the underlying mechanisms are …
