An array of Zymoseptoria tritici effectors suppress plant immune responses

The paper identifies Zymoseptoria tritici effectors that suppress plant immune responses by screening libraries and analyzing structural predictions.

High intraspecies allelic diversity in Arabidopsis NLR immune receptors is associated with distinct genomic and epigenomic features

The paper examines Arabidopsis NLR immune receptors, finding that highly variable NLRs exhibit distinct genomic and epigenomic features compared to conserved paralogs.

Majority of the highly variable NLRs in maize share genomic location and contain additional target-binding domains

The paper analyzes NLR gene evolution in maize, identifying four main subfamilies and novel structural features in hvNLRs, and provides a tool for clade analysis.

Characterization of EDS1-independent plant defense responses against bacterial pathogens using Duckweed/Pseudomonas pathosystems

This study characterizes EDS1-independent defense responses in duckweeds against Pseudomonas pathogens, revealing divergent genomic and transcriptional reprogramming compared to Arabidopsis.

A wheat kinase and immune receptor form the host-specificity barrier against the blast fungus

The paper identifies two wheat resistance genes that act as host-specificity barriers against the blast fungus and describes assays to incorporate these genes into wheat cultivars.

Differential EDS1 requirement for cell death activities of plant TIR-domain proteins

The paper identifies four conserved TIR groups in land plants, two of which are EDS1-dependent and two are EDS1-independent in cell death activities.

Computational structural genomics unravels common folds and predicted functions in the secretome of fungal phytopathogen Magnaporthe oryzae

This study uses computational structural genomics to analyze secreted proteins in Magnaporthe oryzae, revealing common folds and predicting functions of effectors that sequence analysis alone cannot.

Genome and time-of-day transcriptome of Wolffia australiana link morphological extreme minimization with un-gated plant growth

This study analyzes the genome and time-of-day transcriptome of Wolffia australiana to link its extreme morphological minimization with reduced circadian regulation and continuous growth.

Convergent gene loss in aquatic plants predicts new components of plant immunity and drought response

The paper identifies convergent gene loss in aquatic plants and links some lost genes to plant immunity and drought response.

Dominant integration locus drives continuous diversification of plant immune receptors with exogenous domain fusions
