A fungal pathogen manipulates phytocytokine signaling for plant infection

This study identifies a fungal effector that suppresses plant immunity by enhancing phytocytokine signaling, facilitating pathogen infection.

Arabidopsis WALL-ASSOCIATED KINASES are not required for oligogalacturonide-induced signaling and immunity

This study shows that Arabidopsis WAKs are not required for oligogalacturonide-induced signaling and immunity.

Stacking of PRRs in potato to achieve enhanced resistance against Phytophthora infestans

This study stacks two PRRs in potato to enhance resistance against Phytophthora infestans, showing improved resistance compared to single PRR overexpressors.

An atypical endomembrane localized CNL-type immune receptor with a conserved deletion in the N-terminal signaling domain functions in cell death and immunity

This study identifies an atypical plant immune receptor, PML5, with a conserved deletion in its signaling domain that mediates cell death and immunity.

Convergent evolution of plant pattern recognition receptors sensing cysteine-rich patterns from three microbial kingdoms

The paper identifies a cysteine-rich pattern recognized by plant receptors from three microbial kingdoms, showing convergent evolution of immune responses.

Genotyping-by-sequencing-based identification of Arabidopsis pattern recognition receptor RLP32 recognizing proteobacterial translation initiation factor IF1

The paper identifies RLP32 as the Arabidopsis receptor for the bacterial pattern IF1, revealing its role in PTI and resistance to Pseudomonas syringae.

Convergent evolution of distinct immune sensor systems for fungal polygalacturonases in Brassicaceae

The transcriptional landscape of Arabidopsis thaliana pattern-triggered immunity

The paper uses time-resolved transcriptomics to study pattern-triggered immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana, revealing a general stress response and new roles for calcium-permeable channels.
