Isonitrosoacetophenone drives transcriptional reprogramming in Nicotiana tabacum cells in support of innate immunity and defense. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Plants respond to various stress stimuli by activating broad-spectrum defense responses both locally as well as systemically. As such, identification of expressed genes represents an important step towards understanding inducible defense responses and ...

N-[5-(Trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]benzenesulfonamide partially mimics methyl jasmonate without growth inhibition in Nicotiana benthamiana

Current Plant Biology, 2022
Jasmonates (JAs) are phytohormones that induce plant defense responses against pathogens and herbivores. However, JAs often cause plant growth inhibition. Thus, JAs have not been practically useful for crop protection to date.

Insect-induced daidzein, formononetin and their conjugates in soybean leaves. [PDF]

, 2014
In response to attack by bacterial pathogens, soybean (Gylcine max) leaves accumulate isoflavone aglucones, isoflavone glucosides, and glyceollins. In contrast to pathogens, the dynamics of related insect-inducible metabolites in soybean leaves remain ...

NFE2-Related transcription factor 2 coordinates antioxidant defense with thyroglobulin production and iodination in the thyroid gland [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The thyroid gland has a special relationship with oxidative stress. While generation of oxidative substances is part of normal iodide metabolism during thyroid hormone synthesis, the gland must also defend itself against excessive oxidation ...

Species-specific effects of macrophytes on the anti-grazer morphological defense in Scenedesmus obliquus

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Predation and competition are the primary interspecies interactions in aquatic ecosystem. Understanding how these two stressors interactively affect the organisms is critical to predict the food web dynamics.

Pyridine nucleotides induce changes in cytosolic pools of calcium in Arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2016
NAD is a pyridine nucleotide that is involved in cell metabolism and signaling of plant growth and stress. Recently, we reported on the multifaceted nature of NAD-inducible immunity in Arabidopsis.

Evidence for Active Uptake and Deposition of Si-based Defenses in Tall Fescue

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Silicon (Si) is taken up from the soil as monosilicic acid by plant roots, transported to leaves and deposited as phytoliths, amorphous silica (SiO2) bodies, which are a key component of anti-herbivore defense in grasses.

Silicon-based anti-herbivore defense in tropical tree seedlings

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Silicon-based defenses deter insect herbivores in many cultivated and wild grass species. Furthermore, in some of these species, silicon (Si) uptake and defense can be induced by herbivory.
