Light induces Phytochrome B SUMOylation to recruit the immune regulator NPR1 in nuclear condensates to control immunity in plants

Srayan Ghosh, Shraboni Ghosh, Mansi Mansi, Xian Long, Lisa Clark, Anjil Kumar Srivastava, Sumesh M. Kakkunnath, Beatriz Orosa‐Puente, Mark Bailey, Prakash Kumar Bhagat, Catherine Gough, Cunjin Zhang, Miguel de Lucas, Ari Sadanandom

The paper shows light-induced SUMOylation of Phytochrome B recruits NPR1 to nuclear condensates, elevating SA levels to control plant immunity, with SA also maintaining this process in darkness.

Ubiquitin-like SUMO protease expansion in rice (Oryza sativa)

Kawinnat Sue-Ob, Eshan Sharma, Cunjin Zhang, Rahul Bhosale, Ari Sadanandom, Andrew R. Jones

The paper identifies an expansion of SUMO protease genes in cultivated rice, suggesting selective breeding pressure may drive this expansion and its potential role in stress responses.
