      Balmer, Dirk; Flors, Victor; Glauser, Gaetan; Mauch-Mani, Brigitte Frontiers Media (2013)
      Prone to attacks by pathogens and pests, plants employ intricate chemical defense mechanisms consisting of metabolic adaptations. However, many plant attackers are manipulating the host metabolism to counteract defense ...
    • openAccess   Preparing to fight back: generation and storage of priming compounds 

      Pastor, Victoria; Balmer, Andrea; Gamir, Jordi; Flors, Victor; Mauch-Mani, Brigitte Frontiers (2014)
      Immune-stimulated plants are able to respond more rapidly and adequately to various biotic stresses allowing them to efficiently combat an infection. During the priming phase, plant are stimulated in absence of a challenge, ...
    • closedAccess   Primed plants do not forget 

      Pastor, Victoria; Luna Diez, Estrella; Mauch-Mani, Brigitte; Ton, Jurriaan; Flors, Victor Elsevier (2013)
      In their struggle for life, plants can employ sophisticated strategies to defend themselves against potentially harmful pathogens and insects. One mechanism by which plants can increase their level of resistance is by ...

      Boachon, Benoît; Gamir, Jordi; Pastor, Victoria; Erb, Matthias; Dean, John; Flors, Victor; Mauch-Mani, Brigitte Springer (2014)
      The role of the salicylic acid (SA) glycosides SA 2-O-β-D-glucose (SAG), SA glucose ester (SGE) and the glycosyl transferases UGT74F1 and UGT74F2 in the establishment of basal resistance of Arabidopsis against Pseudomonas ...
    • closedAccess   The 'prime-ome': towards a holistic approach to priming 

      Balmer, Andrea; Pastor, Victoria; Gamir, Jordi; Flors, Victor; Mauch-Mani, Brigitte Elsevier (2015-07)
      Plants can be primed to respond faster and more strongly to stress and multiple pathways, specific for the encountered challenge, are involved in priming. This adaptability of priming makes it difficult to pinpoint an exact ...
