• closedAccess   Drought tolerance in Arabidopsis is controlled by the OCP3 disease resistance regulator 

      Ramírez, Vicente; Coego, Alberto; López, Ana; Agorio, Astrid; Flors, Victor; Vera, Pablo Wiley (2009)
      Water scarcity and corresponding abiotic drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting plant performance and yield. In addition, plant productivity is severely compromised worldwide by infection with microbial ...
    • openAccess   Plant perception of β-aminobutyric acid is mediated by an aspartyl-tRNA synthetase 

      Luna Diez, Estrella; Van Hulten, Marieke; Zhang, Yuhua; Berkowitz, Oliver; López, Ana; Pétriacq, Pierre; Sellwood, Matthew A.; Chen, Beining; Burrell, Michael M.; Van De Meene, Allison M. L.; Pieterse, Corné MJ J; Flors, Victor; Ton, Jurriaan Nature Publishing Group (2014)
      Specific chemicals can prime the plant immune system for augmented defense. β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) is a priming agent that provides broad-spectrum disease protection. However, BABA also suppresses plant growth when ...
