Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown molecular strategy for controlling fruit ripening timing. Salicylic acid stabilizes a transcription factor that represses ethylene biosynthesis genes, delaying ripening. The hormone also regulates protein stability through ubiquitination pathways.
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a pioneering biosensor that can detect and track salicylic acid dynamics in living plants. The SalicS1 tool provides fresh insights into how plants coordinate local and systemic defenses against pathogens, with potential applications for improving crop resilience and understandin...
A recent study on truncal acne found that material contact and gender play a significant role in outbreak severity. The researchers proposed the Truncal Acne Severity Scale (TRASS), which addresses a major gap in current methods by incorporating patient-centered metrics.
Researchers uncover how Ralstonia solanacearum's type III effector RipAF1 modifies plant protein FBN1 via ADP-ribosylation, altering hormonal signaling balance and facilitating disease progression. The study offers new opportunities for developing effector-targeted approaches to control bacterial wilt.
Researchers discovered that plants employ ABA to close stomata, obstructing spider mites' entry points and significantly reducing pest damage. The closure of stomata also coincides with the production of ABA, a hormone linked with drought response.
Researchers discovered that stressed plants produce salicylic acid, a protective hormone, to counteract stress caused by climate change. This discovery could help plants survive increasing stress and ultimately protect the food supply.
Researchers found that salicylic acid and jasmonic acid increase in response to fungal infection, increasing plant resistance without negatively affecting growth. High levels of both hormones make trees more resistant to fungal attack.
