The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) controls biotic and abiotic plant stress responses.
Plastid-produced chorismate is a branch-point metabolite for SA biosynthesis. Most pathogen-…

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is an immune response induced in the distal parts of
plants following defense activation in local tissue. Pipecolic acid (Pip) accumulation …

The tradeoff between growth and defense is a critical aspect of plant immunity. Therefore,
the plant immune response needs to be tightly regulated. Salicylic acid (SA) is an important …

Jasmonic acid is a plant hormone that can be produced by the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae
via submerged fermentation. From a biotechnological perspective jasmonic acid is a …

The corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis requires the unfolded protein response (UPR) to maintain
homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) during the biotrophic interaction with its …

The trade-off between growth and defense is a critical aspect of plant immunity. Therefore,
plant immune response needs to be tightly regulated. The hormone regulating plant defense …

Pipecolic acid is essential for the establishment of systemic acquired resistance in plants. It
is synthesized in the plastid and further processed in the cytosol to its active form N-hydroxy …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential regulator of plant immune responses. Despite decades of
research, our knowledge of its biosynthesis remains incomplete. Here we report that by …

The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) is a central regulator of plant immunity. Despite such
functional importance, our knowledge of its biosynthesis is incomplete. Previous work …

Moreover, plants do not possess specialized mobile immune cells, which would maintain
the immune system, as we know from mammals. In order to cope with pathogen attackers, …
