Hormesis as a Particular Type of Plant Stress Response

Plants
Plants are continuously exposed to various abiotic and biotic stress factors, which influence their growth, productivity, and ecological fitness. This paper clarifies the concept of hormesis as a distinct low-dose stress response to toxic substances and ...

Plant Physiological Responses to Nutrient Solution

, 2018
Being sessile, plants developed adaptive and flexible strategies for nutrient acquisition. Localized deficiency or oversupply of many nutrients induces morphological and physiological adaptations, such as gas exchange, ionic accumulation, as well as ...

Ecology of plant volatiles: taking a plant community perspective [PDF]

, 2014
Although plants are sessile organisms, they can modulate their phenotype so as to cope with environmental stresses such as herbivore attack and competition with neighbouring plants.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
