A pivotal study has decoded the genetic basis of olive oil production, revealing a key regulatory mechanism that shapes oil ...

Recent research has revealed that a family of proteins called COI1, previously associated with defense mechanisms in other plant species like Arabidopsis and rice, primarily regulates growth in maize ...

Gregg Howe is a plant biologist recognized for his work on plant-herbivore interactions. He is particularly known for his discoveries related to wound-inducible plant defense responses, metabolism of ...

The edited plants exhibited complete male sterility, which could be reversed with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment. This ...

Isolation of jasmonate-deficient and jasmonate-responsive mutants of Arabidopsis led to discoveries about the involvement of jasmonate in pollen development, insect defense and non-host resistance ...

However, the plant-produced methyl jasmonate (pictured below) stimulates fungal NO production in TR4 thanks to its acquired accessory genes. The resulting ‘NO burst’, causes nitrosative stress within ...
