Analyzing plant defenses in nature [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2009 A broad range of chemical plant defenses against herbivores has been studied extensively under laboratory conditions. In many of these cases there is still little understanding of their relevance in nature. In natural systems, functional analyses of plant traits are often complicated by an extreme variability, which affects the interaction with higher ...

Transmethylation and the general defense reaction of plants
International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2007 Plant breeding for resistance, namely building specific resistance genes into cultivated plants to ensure resistance against certain pathogen species, is a several-decade-long practice.

The role of effectors in nonhost resistance to filamentous plant pathogens [PDF]
, 2014 In nature, most plants are resistant to a wide range of phytopathogens. However, mechanisms contributing to this so-called nonhost resistance (NHR) are poorly understood.

Molecular effects of resistance elicitors from biological origin and their potential for crop protection [PDF]
, 2014 Plants contain a sophisticated innate immune network to prevent pathogenic microbes from gaining access to nutrients and from colonizing internal structures.

Basic and Applied EcologyPlants have evolved direct and indirect defences against herbivores, which may come at a cost to other plant functions. Many plants can uptake and deposit large amounts of silicon within plant tissue, creating structures which can reduce herbivore ...

Plant defense elicitors: plant fitness versus wheat stem sawfly [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The wheat stem sawfly (WSS), Cephus cinctus Norton, is an important wheat pest in the Northern Great Plains of the USA. No single control measure effectively suppresses WSS damage.

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

BMC Plant BiologyBackground Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which are recognised by specific plant receptors and trigger downstream signaling cascades that control various functions within plants, have recently emerged as key regulators of plant physiology.
