Background and aims After a series of seminal works during the last decade of the 20th century,
nitric oxide (NO) is now firmly placed in the pantheon of plant signals. Nitric oxide acts in …

• The cpr5‐1 Arabidopsis thaliana mutant exhibits constitutive activation of salicylic acid (SA),
jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET) signalling pathways and displays enhanced …

A laser-based ethylene detector was used for on-line monitoring of ethylene released by the
phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea in vitro and in tomato fruit. Ethylene data were …

• Unravelling mechanisms that control plant growth as a function of nutrient availability presents
a major challenge in plant biology. This study reports the first transcriptome response to …

Background In view of ethylene's critical developmental and physiological roles the gaseous
hormone remains an active research topic for plant biologists. Progress has been made to …

Detection and analysis of volatile compounds in exhaled breath represents an attractive tool
for monitoring the metabolic status of a patient and disease diagnosis, since it is non-…

Sunflower ( H elianthus annuus L .) seed dormancy is regulated by reactive oxygen species
( ROS ) and can be alleviated by incubating dormant embryos in the presence of …

Infrared gas phase spectroscopy is becoming very common in many life science applications.
Here we present three types of trace gas detection systems based on CO 2 laser and …

Bacteria emit a wealth of volatiles. The combination of coupled gas chromatography/mass
spectrometry (GC/MS) and proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) analyses …

Different forms of nitrogen (N) fertilizer affect disease development; however, this study
investigated the effects of N forms on the hypersensitivity response (HR)—a pathogen-elicited …
