Significance of flavonoids in plant resistance and enhancement of their biosynthesis.

TL;DR: The multi-functionality of these compounds, however, often complicates the interpretation of experimental results but, overall, it supports the importance of flavonoids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chitosan nanoparticles preparation and applications

TL;DR: Chitosan is widely used in food and bioengineering industries for encapsulation of active food ingredients, enzyme immobilization, as a carrier for controlled drug delivery, in agriculture as a plant growth promoter and an antimicrobial agent.

The families of pathogenesis-related proteins, their activities, and comparative analysis of PR-1 type proteins

TL;DR: SAR, likewise, is a generally occurring phenomenon, that engenders an enhancement of the defensive capacity of plants in response to necrotizing infections, associated with the development of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) against further infection by fungi, bacteria and viruses.

Ascorbate peroxidase – a hydrogen peroxide-scavenging enzyme in plants

TL;DR: Amino acid sequence and other molecular properties indicate that ascorbate peroxidase resembles cytochrome c peroxIDase from fungi rather than guaiacol per oxidase from plants, and it is proposed that the plant and yeast hydrogen peroxide-scavenging peroxidsases have the same ancestor.

Jasmonate and salicylate as global signals for defense gene expression

TL;DR: Only a few low molecular mass signals, including jasmonic acid, ethylene and salicylic acid, upregulate the expression of scores of defense-related genes, which fine-tunes its defense gene expression against aggressors.
