Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

Plant hormones play central roles in plant growth, developmental processes, and plant
response to biotic and abiotic stresses. On the one hand, plant hormones may allocate …

Key message Recent updates in JA biosynthesis, signaling pathways and the crosstalk
between JA and others phytohormones in relation with plant responses to different stresses …

Phytohormones are endogenously produced organic substances indispensable for
regulating plant growth and yield and also play major role in inducing tolerance to plants …

Jasmonic acid (JA) is an endogenous growth-regulating substance, initially identified as a
stress-related hormone in higher plants. Similarly, the exogenous application of JA also has …

The phytohormone cytokinin was originally discovered as a regulator of cell division. Later, it
was described to be involved in regulating numerous processes in plant growth and …

Submergence stress represents a major obstacle limiting the application of direct seeding in
rice cultivation. Under flooding conditions, coleoptile elongation can function as an escape …

The plant hormone jasmonate coordinates immune and growth responses to increase plant
survival in unpredictable environments. The core jasmonate signaling pathway comprises …

Recurrent heat stress and pathogen invasion seriously threaten crop production, and abiotic
stress often antagonizes biotic stress response against pathogens. However, the molecular …

The lipid-derived phytohormone jasmonate (JA) regulates plant growth, development,
secondary metabolism, defense against insect attack and pathogen infection, and tolerance …
