Hydroxycinnamic acid amides emerge as multifunctional molecules involved in regeneration and volatile signalling during wound responses in tomato

This study shows that HCAAs, produced via THT overexpression in tomato, enhance wound healing and interplant signaling through structural reinforcement and defense priming.

The Receptor Kinase MEE39/ATHE Mediates Cell Wall Integrity Surveillance During Root Vascular Pathogen Infection

The paper identifies ATHE/MEE39 as a receptor kinase involved in detecting cell wall integrity during root vascular pathogen infection and shows its interaction with MIK2 to enhance defense.

Lack of AtMC1 catalytic activity triggers autoimmunity dependent on NLR stability

This study shows that lack of AtMC1 catalytic activity causes autoimmunity in Arabidopsis, which depends on NLR stability and can be reversed by overexpressing SNIPER1.

ATG8ylation of vacuolar membrane protects plants against cell wall damage

This study identifies a vacuolar quality control pathway in plants that uses ATG8ylation to protect vacuolar integrity following cell wall damage.
