Background Trichomes play a key role in the development of plants and exist in a wide
variety of species. Results In this paper, it was reviewed that the structure and morphology …

Plant resistance to pathogens relies on a complex network of constitutive and inducible
defensive barriers. The plant cell wall is one of the barriers that pathogens need to …

Lignin is a major component of secondarily thickened plant cell walls and is considered to
be the second most abundant biopolymer on the planet. At one point believed to be the …

The cell wall is a dynamic structure that often determines the outcome of the interactions
between plants and pathogens. It is a barrier that pathogens need to breach to colonize the …

WRKY transcription factors (TF s) are well known for regulating plant abiotic and biotic stress
tolerance. However, much less is known about how WRKY TF s affect plant-specialized …

Plants are constantly challenged by a multitude of pathogens and pests, which causes
massive yield and quality losses annually. A promising approach to reduce such losses is to …

Despite the established significance of WRKY proteins and phenylpropanoid metabolism in
plant immunity, how WRKY proteins modulate aspects of the phenylpropanoid pathway …

Plants endure challenging environments in which they are constantly threatened by diverse
pathogens. The soil‐borne fungus Verticillium dahliae is a devastating pathogen affecting …

Transcription factors of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family control important processes in
all eukaryotes. In plants, bZIPs are master regulators of many central developmental and …

Xylem vascular wilt pathogens cause devastating diseases in plants. Proliferation of these
pathogens in the xylem causes massive disruption of water and mineral transport, resulting …
