The paper uses yeast surface display to show that AtIGP1 recognizes laminaribiose but not longer MLG-derived oligosaccharides, and that this recognition triggers immune responses in planta.

The paper identifies ZtGH54, an enzyme from wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici, that degrades host cell wall oligosaccharides to suppress immunity, with virulence dependent on wheat cultivar.

This study investigates CRK18 homodimerization and redox regulation in Arabidopsis, revealing its role as a negative regulator of nematode infection.

The paper identifies a fungal gene encoding a β-1,3-glucanase as a key genetic factor driving multi-host infection in Plectosphaerella cucumerina.

This study identifies ZtGH45, a β-glucanase from Zymoseptoria tritici, showing that its stage-specific down-regulation during infection prevents premature host immune activation, facilitating stealth infection.

This study determines the structure of the plant receptor IGP1 bound to a cellulose-derived DAMP, revealing its mechanism for recognizing glycan patterns and initiating immune responses.
