"Instead, the plants produced signal molecules and plant hormones to initiate defence mechanisms against predators, ...

"Fight-or-flight" is not an option for plants, unfortunately, when it comes to pathogen attacks. Instead, plants opt for "do-or-die." A deeper insight into the genetic mechanisms that enable plants to ...

To meet these challenges, scientists are turning to wild tomato species like Solanum habrochaites, which naturally possess robust defense mechanisms ... wealth of wild plants, scientists can ...

"But this defense mechanism is energy-intensive, slowing down the plant's growth, inhibiting its performance and ultimately leading to its death if the salt stress persists," explains Ramakrishna.

Understanding stress physiology and molecular response mechanisms in plants is essential for improving crop production and quality, particularly under ...

mechanisms of induced systemic resistance in plants, c) interaction between iron deficiency and pathogens, and d) plant defense mechanisms activated in response to phytopathogens and beneficial ...

"But this defense mechanism is energy-intensive, slowing down the plant's growth, inhibiting its performance and ultimately leading to its death if the salt stress persists," explains Ramakrishna.

Defense mechanisms are rooted in Freud’s theory of personality.According to his model, the mind has three dueling forces: the id (unconscious and primitive urges for food, comfort, and sex), the ...
