Uncoupling hypersensitive cell death response and disease resistance activated by effector-triggered immunity

Himanshu Chhillar, Henk-jan Schoonbeek, Bruno Pok Man Ngou, Jonathan D. G. Jones, Pingtao Ding

This study uncouples hypersensitive cell death from disease resistance in plants by showing that HR is not essential for effective immunity.

Cell-type-specific execution of effector-triggered immunity

Himanshu Chhillar, Leonardo Jo, Amey Redkar, Kaisa Kajala, Jonathan D. G. Jones, Pingtao Ding

The paper profiles ETI responses across Arabidopsis leaf cell types using single-cell transcriptomics and finds cell-type-specific immune module activation.

Enhancing plant broad-spectrum resistance through engineered pattern recognition receptors

Yuankun Yang, Christina E. Steidele, Birgit Löffelhardt, Lili Huang, Jonathan D. G. Jones, Thorsten Nürnberger, Pingtao Ding, Andrea A. Gust

This study engineers pattern recognition receptors to enhance broad-spectrum resistance in plants, showing improved efficacy in tomato, rice, and poplar.

Spatiotemporal transcriptional networks control the plasticity of chickpea root exodermis

Leonardo Jo, Rianne M C Kluck, Sara Buti, Julia Holbein, Martin Rázus, Himanshu Chhillar, Pingtao Ding, Rochus Benni Franke, Kaisa Kajala

The paper identifies ABA-regulated transcription factors that control exodermis formation in chickpea through suberin and lignin biosynthesis.
