Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Ustilago maydis secreted lipase, Lip3 targets PA and PS and alkalinises the host apoplast, thus promoting virulence. Loss of Lip3 results in reduced apoplastic pH and decreased pathogenicity. ABSTRACT Lipases constitute important virulence factors. By targeting specific lipids involved in various cellular processes, lipases regulate growth, development,

Role and mechanisms of callose priming in mycorrhiza-induced resistance [PDF]
, 2020 Mycorrhizal plants display enhanced resistance to several pathogens. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating mycorrhiza-induced resistance (MIR) are still elusive.

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2939-2955, May 2026.ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Glucan synthase of Phytophthora sojae
, 2002 Glucans, with the (1-3)-b-glucosidic linkage as major feature, are present in most of the higher plants, in many lower plants, as well as in microorganisms (Stone and Clarke, 1992). The synthesis of (1-3)-b-glucan in vivo is catalysed by the enzyme (1-3)-

Plasmodesmata-mediated intercellular signaling during plant growth and development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Plasmodesmata (PD) are cytoplasmic channels that connect neighboring cells for cell-to-cell communication. PD structure and function vary temporally and spatially to allow formation of symplastic domains during different stages of plant development ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3087-3105, May 2026.ABSTRACT Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) produces premium‐quality fibres, yet the genetic basis underlying its fibre development remains elusive. Here, we identify two key non‐synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, G/C and G/A) in the gene Gbar_D13G024080, which encodes the TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN 209 (TMEM209). These SNPs resulted in

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 2516-2530, May 2026.ABSTRACT Hydroxycinnamoyl tyramine conjugates are phenolamides produced by plants in response to pathogen attack and biotic stresses. Their proposed mechanisms of action include cytotoxicity towards pathogens, cell wall reinforcement to restrict pathogen proliferation, and signaling activity to trigger general stress responses.

Callose homeostasis at plasmodesmata: molecular control and developmental regulation.
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined channels that are located in the plant cell wall and that physically interconnect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.

Mutation in a light-regulated glucan synthase-like gene (gsl12) displays light hyper-responsive and callose deficient phenotypes in arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2009 Light is a very important factor affecting every aspect of plant development. Plant developmental responses to light are sensitive to the direction, intensity, color, and duration of light.
