A helper NLR channels organellar calcium to trigger plant immunity

This study identifies NRG1 as a plant NLR receptor that targets chloroplasts to trigger immunity by channeling stromal calcium into the cytosol, revealing a novel mechanism for organelle-specific immune signaling.

A broad-host-range Rhizobium rhizogenes strain enables transient expression across diverse crops and establishes functional assays in faba bean

View Tomo: Context-aware targeting and analysis in electron cryo-tomography

View Tomo improves cryoET by enabling 3D analysis and targeting through low-dose, rapid tomogram acquisition and automated processing.

A hydrophobic core in the coiled-coil domain is essential for NRC resistosome function

The study identifies a hydrophobic core in the coiled-coil domain of NRCs that is essential for their function in immunity.

A dual component system instructs membrane hydrolysis during the final stages of plant autophagy

This study identifies two phospholipases, LCAT3 and LCAT4, that work together to hydrolyze autophagic bodies in plant cells, completing the autophagy pathway.

AF2-multimer guided high accuracy prediction of typical and atypical ATG8 binding motifs

The paper uses AF2-multimer to accurately predict both canonical and atypical ATG8 binding motifs in proteins, including those in pathogens and plant hosts.
