Postharvest biology plays a pivotal role in maintaining the quality and shelf life of agricultural commodities exposed to abiotic stress conditions after ...

Plants are constantly on guard. Their roots are equipped with molecular alarm systems that detect invading microbes and ...

Research on plant responses to environmental stress is increasingly vital as global change accelerates. Both natural and agricultural systems are facing ...

Jasmonate activity is included systemically by pathogens. Here plants are infected by bacteria carrying different avirulence genes (avrRpm1 at bottom right, avrRps4 at bottom left, avrRpt2 at top ...

Prof. Yu Shen's team at Nanjing Forestry University approached this question from a unique perspective—viewing plant cells as miniature "micro universes" where organelles, metabolic networks, and ...

Overuse of chemical pesticides has driven resistance in agricultural pests, including the adaptable two-spotted spider mite. Researchers have discovered novel elicitor proteins, Tet3 and Tet4, in mite ...
