Next-generation RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) is rapidly outcompeting microarrays as the
technology of choice for whole-transcriptome studies. However, the bioinformatics skills …

Plant roots nurture a tremendous diversity of microbes via exudation of photosynthetically
fixed carbon sources. In turn, probiotic members of the root microbiome promote plant growth …

Antagonism between the defense hormones salicylic acid ( SA ) and jasmonic acid ( JA )
plays a central role in the modulation of the plant immune signaling network, but the molecular …

PR-1a is a salicylic acid-inducible defense gene of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). One-hybrid
screens identified a novel tobacco WRKY transcription factor (NtWRKY12) with specific …

Jasmonic acid ( JA ) is a critical hormonal regulator of plant growth and defense. To advance
our understanding of the architecture and dynamic regulation of the JA gene regulatory …

… Furthermore, a WK-like box (TTTTCCA) that resembles the WK-box TTTTCCAC identified
by van Verk et al. [31] is present at position -844. As a first step towards the characterization of …

In Arabidopsis roots, the transcription factor MYB 72 plays a dual role in the onset of
rhizobacteria‐induced systemic resistance ( ISR ) and plant survival under conditions of limited iron …

… A WK-like box (TTTTCCA) is present in the 1 kb upstream region and this might function
as the WRKY28 binding site (MC van Verk and HJM Linthorst, unpublished data). …

In nature, plants have to cope with a wide range of stress conditions that often occur
simultaneously or in sequence. To investigate how plants cope with multi‐stress conditions, we …

Below ground, microbe‐associated molecular patterns ( MAMP s) of root‐associated
microbiota can trigger costly defenses at the expense of plant growth. However, beneficial …
