During their lifetime, plants encounter numerous biotic and abiotic stresses with diverse
modes of attack. Phytohormones, including salicylic acid (SA), ethylene (ET), jasmonate …

Plant responses to different stresses are highly complex and involve changes at the
transcriptome, cellular, and physiological levels. Recent evidence shows that plants respond …

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 …

Due to their different lifestyles, effective defence against biotrophic pathogens normally
leads to increased susceptibility to necrotrophs, and vice versa. Solving this trade‐off is a …

Jasmonates (JAs) are plant hormones with essential roles in plant defense and
development. The basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor (TF) MYC2 has recently …

Phytohormones participate in various processes over the course of a plant's lifecycle. In
addition to the five classical phytohormones (auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid …

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 …

Since the early 1980s, various strains of the gram-negative bacterial pathogen
Pseudomonas syringae have been used as models for understanding plant-bacterial …

The constant struggle between plants and microbes has driven the evolution of multiple
defense strategies in the host as well as offense strategies in the pathogen. To defend …

Phytopathogens can manipulate plant hormone signaling to access nutrients and counteract
defense responses. Pseudomonas syringae produces coronatine, a toxin that mimics the …
