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.

This study identifies horizontally transferred terpene synthase genes and immune pathways in M. polymorpha that contribute to resistance against fungal pathogens.

This study uses Aeschynomene evenia to identify immune components involved in quantitative resistance to Aphanomyces euteiches, revealing dual-function kinases that regulate both symbiosis and immunity.

This study investigates the conserved and divergent roles of CPK28 in immune homeostasis across land plants, showing functional conservation in some contexts but divergence in others.

This study investigates fern-pathogen interactions and immune receptor diversity, revealing broad pathogen compatibility in Pteris vittata and identifying novel immune receptor classes in ferns.

The paper identifies EPP1 as a fourth gene in the ancestral common symbiosis pathway, essential for plant-microbe interactions across multiple plant clades.

This study shows that OGOX enzymes regulate oligogalacturonide levels, affecting plant immunity and tissue repair by balancing active OGs and oxidized oxOGs.
