The paper identifies a new 1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene central pathway for gallate catabolism in fungi, challenging the assumption that it relies on the five known central pathways.

This study shows that cutin oligomers from tomato act as DAMPs in Arabidopsis, inducing immune responses like Ca2+ influx, MAPK activation, and ROS bursts.

This study screens 1,127 compounds against Aspergillus fumigatus, identifies miltefosine as fungicidal, and reveals RmiA as a transcription factor regulating sphingolipid biosynthesis involved in miltefosine resistance.

This paper introduces an ionic liquids-based method to extract and characterize cutin from plants, revealing free hydroxyl groups and how mutations affect its esterification structure.
