A fully sequenced collection of homozygous EMS mutants for forward and reverse genetic screens in Arabidopsis thaliana

Arabidopsis hydathodes are sites of intense auxin metabolism and nutrient scavenging

The paper analyzes the transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles of Arabidopsis hydathodes, revealing their role in auxin metabolism and nutrient scavenging.

Xanthomonas transcriptome inside cauliflower hydathodes reveals bacterial virulencestrategies and physiological adaptation at early infection stages

The paper analyzes the transcriptome of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris in cauliflower hydathodes three days post-infection, revealing transcriptional reprogramming and early virulence strategies.

Repeated gain and loss of a single gene modulates the evolution of vascular pathogen lifestyles

The paper shows that the gene cbsA acts as a switch for vascular vs. non-vascular pathogenesis in bacteria, with its presence and absence linked to lifestyle evolution.

Anatomy of epithemal hydathodes in four monocotyledon plants of economic and academic relevance

The paper provides a detailed microscopic analysis of hydathodes in four monocot plants, identifying similarities and differences that may inform future studies on their physiology and immunity.

EffectorK, a comprehensive resource to mine for pathogen effector targets in the Arabidopsis proteome

The paper constructs an interactomic network of Arabidopsis proteins and pathogen effectors and develops EffectorK, a database to explore these interactions.
