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 TOR inhibition improves autophagic flux and immune response in tomato plants infected with PSTVd, reducing viroid accumulation and enhancing defense gene expression.

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.
