Manipulation in the light regimes combined with the effects of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and elicitors through plant cell culture technology is a promising strategy for enhancing the yield of medicinally i
Pathogens invade plant tissues through enzymes that break down the cellular structure of cells and kill the cells. Pathogens also secrete other active compounds such as toxins, which kill cells directly, and growth regulators, which cause plant galls and overgrowths. Plants defend themselves against ...
Plant secondary biosynthetic pathways are exceedingly inducible by elicitors and facilitate enhanced metabolite production using plant cell tissue and orga
(SEs: globular embryos, partial pear-shaped embryos and club-shaped embryos), club-shaped cotyledon initiation, plumule initiation and plantlets were directly obtained from leaf explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 3.5% (w/v) sucrose and different plant growth regulators (PGRs)...
Many plant-associated microbes are pathogens that impair plant growth and reproduction. Plants respond to infection using a two-branched innate immune system. The first branch recognizes and responds to molecules common to many classes of microbes, including non-pathogens. The second responds to pathog...
On the basis of our latest finding that translation of key immune regulators, such as TBF1 (ref. 3), is rapidly and transiently induced upon pathogen challenge (see accompanying paper4), we developed a ‘TBF1-cassette’ consisting of not only the immune-inducible promoter but also two ...
Early blight and brown leaf spot are often cited as the most problematic pathogens of tomato in many agricultural regions. Their causal agents are Alternaria spp., a genus of Ascomycota containing numerous necrotrophic pathogens. Breeding programs have y
which represents the second period of berry growth, mainly due to water influx and cell enlargement. The maturation phase is characterized by dramatic changes in berry composition [2]. The concentration of some solutes (e.g. malic acid) which are accumulated during the first growth period, decli...
With the impending increase of the world population by 2050, more activities have been directed toward the improvement of crop yield and a safe environment
The present invention relates to novel strains of Bacillus and methods of their use for enhancing the growth, promoting plant health or controlling diseases or pests of a pla
