Carrageenans from red seaweeds as promoters of growth and elicitors of defense response in plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 Plants incessantly encounter abiotic and biotic stresses that limit their growth and productivity. However, conversely, plant growth can also be induced by treatments with various abiotic and biotic elicitors.

Arabidopsis ssi2-Conferred Susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea Is Dependent on EDS5 and PAD4
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2005 Loss of a stearoyl-ACP desaturase activity in the Arabidopsis thaliana ssi2 mutant confers susceptibility to the necrotroph, Botrytis cinerea. In contrast, the ssi2 mutant exhibits enhanced resistance to Pseudomonas syringae, Peronospora parasitica, and ...

A comment on “Variability in plant nutrients reduces insect herbivore performance” [PDF]
Rethinking Ecology, 2019 In their recent contribution, Wetzel et al. [Wetzel et al. (2016) Variability in plant nutrients reduces insect herbivore performance. Nature 539: 425-427] predict that variance in the plant nutrient level reduces herbivore performance via the nonlinear ...
