Identification and characterization of innate immunity in Actinidia melanandra in response to Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae

This study identifies and characterizes innate immunity in Actinidia melanandra against Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae, revealing PTI triggered by the T3S system.

NbPTR1 confers resistance against Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae in kiwifruit

This study identifies NbPTR1 as a resistance gene against Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae in kiwifruit by introducing it into susceptible cultivars to confer resistance.

Contrasting effector profiles between bacterial colonisers of kiwifruit reveal redundant roles and interplay converging on PTI-suppression and RIN4

The paper identifies redundant and additive roles of Psa3 effectors in suppressing plant immunity and promoting bacterial colonization in kiwifruit.

A lipopolysaccharide-dependent phage infects a pseudomonad phytopathogen and can evolve to evade phage resistance

This paper studies a phage that infects a plant pathogen, showing it uses LPS as a receptor and can evolve to bypass bacterial resistance.

Effector loss drives adaptation of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae to Actinidia arguta

This study identifies effector loss in Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae as a driver of adaptation to Actinidia arguta, revealing key effectors involved in host resistance.

A high throughput bispecific antibody discovery pipeline

This paper introduces a high throughput single-cell pipeline for bispecific antibody discovery, demonstrating its efficiency in identifying rare functional clones and uncovering design principles for improved immunotherapeutics.

AvrE1 and HopR1 from Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae are additively required for full virulence on kiwifruit

The paper shows that avrE1 and hopR1 are additively required for virulence in Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae on kiwifruit, unlike their redundant role in a related pathovar.

Variation at the common polysaccharide antigen locus drives lipopolysaccharide diversity within the P. syringae species complex

The paper identifies a genetic locus driving LPS diversity in P. syringae by analyzing allelic variation in the TET operon and its impact on LPS structure and immunogenicity.
