The microbe-free plant: fact or artefact?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2011 Plant-microbe interactions are ubiquitous. Plants are often colonized by pathogens but even more commonly engaged in neutral or mutualistic interactions with microbes: below-ground microbial plant associates are mycorrhizal fungi, Rhizobia and ...

Kinome profiling reveals an interaction between jasmonate, salicylate and light control of hyponastic petiole growth in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Plants defend themselves against infection by biotic attackers by producing distinct phytohormones. Especially jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) are well known defense-inducing hormones.

An Individual Based Model of Wound Closure in Plant Stems
IEEE Access, 2019 Wound closure in plant stems (after either fire or mechanical damage) is a complex, multi-scale process that involves the formation of a callous tissue (callus lips) responsible for cell proliferation and overgrowth at the injury edges, resulting in ...
