Phosphorus (P) is a macronutrient essential for various biological processes in plants. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) deficiency modulates the signaling pathway of the phytohormone jasmonate (a fatty acid ...

The ability to use plant signal molecules as cues for activating a detoxification system may be of particular value to a broadly polyphagous herbivore such as H. zea. In contrast to oligophagous ...

Jasmonate is a critical phytohormone that regulates plant development and adaptation to external conditions. In response to an exposure biotic or abiotic stress, jasmonate accumulates in plants, ...

Seeds are vital for plant reproduction and agriculture. Seed size, a crucial trait for plant adaptation and crop yield, is intricately controlled by genetic signals and environmental factors. The ...

The phytohormone jasmonate and its metabolites regulate a wide spectrum of plant physiology, participating in normal development and growth processes, as well as defence responses to environmental and ...

Could a substance from the jasmine flower hold the key to an effective new therapy to treat cancer? Researchers have developed an anti-cancer drug based on a decade of research into the commercial ...

Researchers examining how the hormone jasmonate works to protect plants and promote their growth have revealed how a transcriptional repressor of the jasmonate signaling pathway makes its way into the ...

Scientists have demonstrated the importance of jasmonate-dependent nicotine production for the survival of tobacco plants which are attacked by mammalian herbivores. Coyote tobacco (Nicotiana ...

The aim of JXB is to publish the highest quality manuscripts that address questions of broad interest in plant biology. We welcome manuscripts that identify… ...

Catechins, the key active components in tea, are known for their protective effects against conditions like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. However, their biosynthesis is highly ...

Coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) produces a potent neurotoxic substance: nicotine. The production of nicotine is regulated by plant hormones called jasmonates. Scientists at the Max Planck ...
