This study shows that CAR1-mediated recognition of the effector AvrE1 enhances stomatal immunity in Arabidopsis, preventing P. syringae leaf invasion.

The paper identifies QSK1 as a novel negative regulator of PRR-RBOHD complex and shows it is targeted by the bacterial effector HopF2Pto to suppress plant immunity.

This paper uses gradient boosted decision trees to predict virulence of Pseudomonas syringae isolates on bean using genomic data, finding that PG3 strains are more host-specific than PG2 strains.

The paper introduces RecPD, a recombination-aware phylogenetic diversity metric, and demonstrates its utility in analyzing feature evolution under recombination and horizontal transfer.

This study shows that perturbations of the ZED1 pseudokinase activate plant immunity by forming a ternary complex with PBL kinases and ZAR1, independent of the effector HopZ1a.

The paper identifies HopZ1a, a T3SE from Pseudomonas syringae, as an acetyltransferase that targets plant kinesins to disrupt microtubule networks through yeast genetic and interaction screens.
