CSLB4-mediated cell wall remodeling decouples phloem access from aphid performance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Felipe Moraga, Daniela Arias-G, Dayán Sanhueza, Joaquín Delgado-Rioseco, Isabel Fuenzalida‐Valdivia, Catalina Inostroza-Aguirre, Micaela Peppino Margutti, Matías Ramos, Diego Zavala-Torres, Francisca Ormeno, Romina V. Sepúlveda, Corina M. Fusari, Ariel Herrera‐Vásquez, Susana Saez‐Aguayo, Francisca Blanco‐Herrera

This study identifies CSLB4 as a gene regulating cell wall architecture in Arabidopsis that decouples phloem access from aphid performance, enhancing resistance to specialist aphids.

Salicylic acid contributes to plant defense against a necrotroph: evidence from a transgenic NahG-expressing strain in Botrytis cinerea.

Gustavo Hoppe, Antonia Donaire-Guerra, Daniela Lopez-Leiva, Gabriel Pérez-Lara, Francisca Blanco‐Herrera, Ariel Herrera-Vásquez, Paulo Canessa

This paper shows that salicylic acid degradation by B. cinerea enhances its virulence in Arabidopsis and bean plants, dependent on host SA biosynthesis.

The Arabidopsis TNL immune receptor BNT1 localizes to the plastid envelope and mediates flg22-induced resistance against Pseudomonas

Micaela Peppino Margutti, Ana Paula Cislaghi, Ariel Herrera‐Vásquez, Julieta R. Palomeque, Francisco Bellino, María Elena Álvarez, Francisca Blanco‐Herrera, Nicolás M. Cecchini

This paper identifies BNT1 as a TNL-class immune receptor localized to the plastid envelope in Arabidopsis, showing that only the plastid-localized isoform mediates PAMP-triggered immunity responses against Pseudomonas.
