This study shows that HCAAs, produced via THT overexpression in tomato, enhance wound healing and interplant signaling through structural reinforcement and defense priming.

This study shows hydroxylated monoterpenes (HMTPs) mimic bacterial attack, triggering jasmonate-dependent immunity in tomato through self-amplifying signaling loops.

This study shows that loss of SlG2 in tomato increases monoterpenoid levels and enhances resistance to bacterial infection through elevated salicylic acid.

This study identifies (Z)-3-hexenyl butyrate as a natural inducer of stomatal closure and plant immunity, showing its efficacy in reducing water stress and pathogen infection in crops.

The paper demonstrates the use of CRISPR activators to selectively enrich specific flavonoids in N. benthamiana leaves by activating multiple genes in metabolic pathways.
