This study shows that Pantoea ananatis triggers systemic resistance in Arabidopsis through root sensing via the LORE receptor kinase, using HAAs and 3-OH-C10 as MAMPs.

This study identifies the molecular mechanism by which the plant immune receptor LORE binds and responds to 3-hydroxy fatty acid ligands through a dynamic loop in its G-type lectin domain.

The paper investigates LORE receptor diversification in Brassicaceae, showing conserved 3-OH-FAs sensing but varied chain-length preferences matching bacterial profiles.

This study transfers the Arabidopsis immune receptor AtLORE to tomato, enabling sensing of 3-hydroxylated fatty acids and enhancing disease resistance against multiple pathogens.
