Plants treated with the nonprotein amino acid ß-aminobutyric acid (BABA) develop an enhanced capacity to resist biotic and abiotic stresses. This BABA-induced resistance (BABA-IR) is associated with an augmented capacity to express basal defense responses, a phenomenon known as priming. Based on the observation that high amounts of BABA induce sterility in Arabidopsis thaliana, a mutagenesis...

The coordinated induced expression of ß-oxidation genes is essential to provide the energy supply for germination and postgerminative development. However, very little is known about other functions of ß-oxidation in nonreserve organs. We have identified a gene-specific pattern of induced ß-oxidation gene expression in wounded leaves of Arabidopsis. Mechanical damage triggered the local and...

The process of signal integration, which contributes to the regulation of multiple cellular activities, can be described in a digital language by a set of connected digital operations. In this article we delineate the basic concepts of cell signalling in the context of a logical description of information processing. Newly described instances of signal integration in plants are given as examples....
