A fungal effector targets the chloroplast to support biotrophy by balancing disease and plant health

Djihane Damoo, Matthias Kretschmer, Karen Thulasi Devendrakumar, Sherry Sun, Madeline Iseminger, Leon Pierdzig, Volker Lipka, Kerstin Schmitt, Oliver Valerius, Jennifer Geddes‐McAlister, Gerhard H. Braus, Xin Li, Kai Heimel, James W. Kronstad

This paper identifies a fungal effector, UmPce3, that targets the chloroplast DEAD-box RNA helicase RH3 to manipulate chloroplast function, enhancing fungal pathogenesis while balancing plant stress responses.

Cysteine-rich receptor-like kinases mediate Wall Teichoic Acid perception in Arabidopsis

Leon Pierdzig, C. Seinsche, Stefan Kalla, Samantha Armiento, Lisa Maria Schulz, Jeanine Rismondo, Antonio Molinaro, Cristina De Castro, Elena Kristin Petutschnig, Volker Lipka

This study identifies Wall Teichoic Acids (WTAs) as a novel MAMP in Arabidopsis, showing they activate defense responses through the CRK receptor family.

Identification of INOSITOL PHOSPHORYLCERAMIDE SYNTHASE 2 (IPCS2) as a new rate-limiting component in Arabidopsis pathogen entry control

Josephine Mittendorf, Tegan M. Haslam, Cornelia Herrfurth, Nicolas Esnay, Yohann Boutté, Ivo Feußner, Volker Lipka

This study identifies IPCS2 as a key enzyme in sphingolipid biosynthesis that regulates polar secretion of PEN3 to block fungal entry in Arabidopsis.
