Induced systemic resistance by the root colonization of Trichoderma atroviride is independent from the chitin-mediated signaling pathway in Arabidopsis

This study shows that Trichoderma atroviride induces systemic resistance in Arabidopsis independently of the chitin signaling pathway, but shares similar transcriptional responses with chitin.

Multi-layered apoplastic barrier underlying the ability of Na+ exclusion in Vigna marina

This study identifies a multi-layered apoplastic barrier in Vigna marina that restricts Na+ transport to shoots while allowing essential ion transport, contributing to its salt tolerance.

Diurnal regulation of SOS Pathway and Sodium Excretion Underlying Salinity Tolerance of Vigna marina

This study identifies diurnal regulation of the SOS pathway and sodium excretion mechanisms in Vigna marina, revealing a QTL region with structural rearrangements and cis-regulatory motifs linked to salt tolerance.

Chitin-induced systemic disease resistance in rice requires both OsCERK1 and OsCEBiP and is mediated via perturbation of cell-wall biogenesis in leaves

This study shows chitin induces systemic disease resistance in rice requiring OsCERK1 and OsCEBiP, mediated by cell-wall biogenesis perturbation.

Understanding patterns of abiotic and biotic stress resilience to unleash the potential of crop wild relatives for climate-smart legume breeding

This paper identifies patterns of abiotic and biotic stress resilience in Vigna species to guide conservation and breeding for climate-smart legumes.
