Yeast surface display reveals structure-dependent β-glucan association with the plant immune receptor AtIGP1

The paper uses yeast surface display to show that AtIGP1 recognizes laminaribiose but not longer MLG-derived oligosaccharides, and that this recognition triggers immune responses in planta.

Molecular dissection of zinc-mediated immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper identifies zinc-mediated immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing that microbial cell wall components trigger zinc accumulation and defense gene expression independent of major signaling pathways.

Glycan recognition by a plant sentinel immune receptor

This study determines the structure of the plant receptor IGP1 bound to a cellulose-derived DAMP, revealing its mechanism for recognizing glycan patterns and initiating immune responses.

Signaling mechanisms and agricultural applications of (Z)-3-Hexenyl Butyrate-mediated stomatal closure

This study identifies (Z)-3-hexenyl butyrate as a natural inducer of stomatal closure and plant immunity, showing its efficacy in reducing water stress and pathogen infection in crops.
