This study identifies a two-stage proteolytic pathway for maize phytocytokine Zip1 maturation and release, revealing spatial and temporal control of immune signaling.

This study identifies GH25 lysozyme from a yeast as a mediator of tripartite interkingdom interactions that shape microbial competition on plant leaf surfaces.

The paper develops an ELISA-based method to detect plant signaling peptides, demonstrating its ability to quantify Zip1 in plant tissues with nanogram sensitivity.
