Plants and microbial pathogens engage in fierce warfare, with jasmonate playing a key role. Pathogens manipulate jasmonate to disrupt hormonal signaling balance for efficient infection of host plants.
Plants and microbial pathogens often engage in a fierce war that determines their survival. Host plants have evolved sophisticated regulatory mechanisms to fine-tune defense responses to counter attacks from pathogens, while pathogens often hijack the lipid-derived phytohormone jasmonate to cause hormonal signaling imbalances for efficient infection. This review focuses on the jasmonate-based warfare between host plants and pathogenic intruders, and further discusses approaches to uncouple plant growth and defense tradeoffs in crop breeding. Pathogens often hijack the phytohormone jasmonate to cause hormonal signaling imbalances. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the jasmonate-based warfare between the pathogenic intruder and host plant.
