This study shows how a fungal effector targets plant GSK3-like kinases to reprogram host cell identity by disrupting signaling pathways.

The paper shows that low intra-microbiota antagonism promotes stability and pathogen protection in barley root microbiota, while high antagonism leads to instability and reduced protection.

This paper identifies prion-like domains (PrLDs) as noncanonical plastid-targeting elements in PEPSI effectors and shows PEPSI6 modulates DXR during root symbiosis.

This study identifies SiROCX as a transcription factor regulating a monocot-specific CAZyme program for host cell wall remodeling during fungal symbiosis.

This study shows that the fungal endophyte Serendipita indica reduces disease susceptibility in Arabidopsis regardless of host genotype and that the immune receptor ISI contributes to root immunity but is not required for endophyte protection.

This study uses time-resolved transcriptomics to identify a GH18-CBM5 chitinase in Sebacinales fungi that protects plants against the pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana.
