The sugar-beet cyst nematode effector Hs2B11 targets the Arabidopsis serine protease inhibitor AtPR-6 to favor parasitism

This study identifies Hs2B11 as a nematode effector that interacts with AtPR-6 to suppress plant immunity and enhance parasitism.

Divergent roles of CPK28 in immune homeostasis across land plants

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.

A novel toolbox of GATEWAY-compatible vectors for rapid functional gene analysis in soybean composite plants

This paper introduces GATEWAY-compatible vectors for functional gene analysis in soybean composite plants, enabling rapid screening of transgenic roots and investigation of subcellular localization and protein interactions.

Elevated CO2 alters soybean physiology and defense responses, and has disparate effects on susceptibility to diverse microbial pathogens

This study examines how elevated CO2 affects soybean susceptibility to various pathogens and finds mixed effects on disease outcomes and defense responses.

Catalytically inactive subgroup VIII receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases regulate the immune-triggered oxidative burst in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study identifies subgroup VIII RLCKs in Arabidopsis thaliana as noncatalytic regulators of immune-triggered oxidative burst, highlighting their role in plant immunity.
