In agricultural cropping systems, relatively large amounts of nitrogen (N) are applied for
plant growth and development, and to achieve high yields. However, with increasing N …

In plants, a variety of stimuli trigger long-range calcium signals that travel rapidly along the
vasculature to distal tissues via poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we use quantitative …

Wounded leaves communicate their damage status to one another through a poorly
understood process of long-distance signalling. This stimulates the distal production of …

Growth is a major component of fitness in all organisms, an important mediator of
competitive interactions in plant communities, and a central determinant of yield in crops …

The Arabidopsis thaliana basic helix-loop-helix Leu zipper transcription factor (TF)
MYC2/JIN1 differentially regulates jasmonate (JA)-responsive pathogen defense (eg, PDF1 …

Plant latex and other exudates are saps that are exuded from the points of plant damage
caused either mechanically or by insect herbivory. Although many (ca. 10%) of plant species …

The basal defenses important in curtailing the development of the phloem-feeding silverleaf
whitefly (Bemisia tabaci type B; SLWF) on Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) were …

Plants under natural environment facing various pathogens, tend to produce defense to
maintain their fitness and minimize pathogenic damage. Plant-pathogens interaction is …

Jasmonate (JA) and its amino acid conjugate, jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile), play important
roles in regulating plant defense responses to insect herbivores. Recent studies indicate that …
