Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are endogenous chemicals that are released from damaged cells and which play a role as “danger signals.” 
Adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP) becomes a DAMP signal after release into the extracellular milieu following cellular damage. Extracellular ATP is recognized at the cell surface by purinoceptors, where it evokes immune responses and wound healing. … Continue reading Extracellular ATP Boosts Plant Immunity Via Jasmonate Signaling
