A Transmembrane Protein WAI‐B2 Confers Multiple Disease Resistance in Wheat by Activating Autoimmunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wheat production is under threat from multiple diseases. This study clones the wheat autoimmunity gene WAI‐B2 from an EMS‐induced mutant that encodes a distinct transmembrane protein conferring resistance to wheat rusts and powdery mildew ‐ two major diseases affecting wheat crops.

Root Meristem Maintenance Mechanisms are Key to Plant Defense Against Nanoplastics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Small nanoplastics can disrupt cell integrity and inhibit cell division in meristem zone of plant root. The plants can counteract the cell damage by upregulating genes associated with root meristem maintenance and increasing auxin accumulation by PIN2 transport inhibition.

An Engineered Probiotic Consortium Based on Quorum‐Sensing for Colorectal Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work develops an engineered probiotic consortium sensing pH, hypoxia, and lactate in the tumor microenvironment. It releases a lactate‐depleting enzyme (LdhA) and a PD‐L1 nanobody. In humanized mouse models (MC38 and HT‐29 tumors), it achieves durable oscillations, suppresses tumors, activates CD8+, CD4+, IFN‐γ+ T cells, and reduces Foxp3 ...

Nodule Initiation Elicited by Noninfective Mutants of \u3cem\u3eRhizobium phaseoli\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]

, 1985
Rhizobium phaseoli CE106, CE110, and CE115, originally derived by transposon mutagenesis (Noel et al., J. Bacteriol. 158:149-155, 1984), induced the formation of uninfected root nodule-like swellings on bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).

Dual Disruption of the Immune Cytokine Spätzle Facilitates Fungal Infection of Diverse Insect Hosts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Toll pathway is essential for insect defense against fungal pathogens. This works reports that fungal parasites employ two divergent virulent effectors to target the Toll receptor ligand Spätzle: a metalloprotease degrading it and a hairpin‐like effector hijacking it to block signal transduction. This dual strategy enables the fungus to kill a wide

Insect I‐Type Lysozymes Function as Antiviral Proteases by Forming Biomolecular Condensates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon rice viral infection, the insect vector activates the Toll–MyD88–Dorsal signaling cascade, inducing i‐type lysozyme (Lyz‐I1) expression. Lyz‐I1 functions as an antiviral protease through its conserved catalytic dyad Glu/Asp (E/D), mediating cleavage of viral proteins at specific Lys (K) residues.

Genetic diversity and symbiotic efficiency of pigeonpea rhizobia from the Brazilian drylands

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical
The pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) crop has a high potential for sustainable agricultural systems in semiarid regions due to its robustness, multifunctionality, and ability to perform biological nitrogen fixation in symbiosis with rhizobia.

Discovery of the Agrobacterium growth inhibition sequence in virus and its application to recombinant clone screening

AMB Express, 2019
Infectious clone vectors used widely in genetic research. While constructing soybean mosaic virus (SMV) clone vectors, we found that transformed Agrobacterium grew significantly different depending on the viral strains used.
