Microbial factories provide a sustainable alternative to tree sap for producing elusive plant molecules, offering new ...

These molecules have signaling functions in other species beyond the animal kingdom. Scientists have found a number of small molecules that plants use as messengers. These molecules are ...

New research has identified crucial components and mechanisms of the plant immune system, potentially helping to develop ...

Plant hormones play a major role in ... invasive techniques to visualize both the quantity of small molecules and the activity of signaling pathways. Interactions between hormone signaling have ...

Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies ...

This jump-starts signaling pathways inside the cell that spur the production ... But bacteria can interfere with PAMP-triggered immunity by injecting effector molecules into the plant cell.

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed ... yet underappreciated role, in plant signaling or adaptation to environmental challenges.

Biologists have identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism.

But progress in understanding these strigolactones has grown a bit stagnant, partly because these molecules occur in ... yet underappreciated role, in plant signaling or adaptation to ...
