The paper investigates the asynchronous spread of two unrelated viruses causing lettuce big-vein disease and finds that LBVaV precedes MiLBVV spread, facilitating its movement and contributing to disease severity.

The paper describes a protocol for isolating RNA-binding proteins from plants using UV-crosslinking and organic phase separation, followed by proteomics analysis.

This study identifies a SUMO interacting motif in TYLCV Rep essential for viral replication and SUMO machinery interaction.

This study identifies SUT1 as a novel immune receptor in Arabidopsis hydathodes that confers resistance to Xcc, effective during early infection but not in vascular tissues.

The paper develops a non-invasive imaging system and analysis pipeline to track bacterial infection progression in Arabidopsis over time using bioluminescence.

This study identifies four cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) secreted via the T2SS that enable Xcc to breach hydathodes and access the leaf vasculature, facilitating long-distance plant colonization.

The paper analyzes gene synteny networks across plant genomes to uncover ancient duplications and lineage-specific transpositions in the MADS-box gene family.
