A bacterial exotoxin-triggered plant immune response restricts pathogen growth

Cell Reports
Summary: For optimal growth and development, hosts must promote healthy symbiotic interactions while restricting pathogens. To ask whether hosts can distinguish phylogenetically similar pathogens and beneficial bacteria, we used two closely related plant

Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum Effector Protein ScAA9 Contributes to Virulence and Triggers Plant Immune Responses

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
The AA9 family protein ScAA9 of Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum plays dual roles as both a virulence factor for infection and a PAMP for host immune manipulation, highlighting the complexity of S. cucurbitacearum–host interactions. ABSTRACT Fungal pathogens secrete cell wall‐degrading enzymes that either act as virulence factors or are perceived by ...

OsCERK1 Interacts with OsHPP08 to Regulate Copper Uptake and Blast Resistance in Rice

Rice Science
The cell surface receptor chitin elicitor receptor kinase 1 (CERK1) is a well-known component of plant immunity. OsCERK1 is involved in regulating copper (Cu) uptake in rice, though the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Plant cell surface receptors

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 6, March 2026.
SUMMARY Plants face constant environmental changes and must integrate external and internal cues to coordinate growth, development, reproduction, and stress responses. A major strategy is perception at the cell surface via a large, diverse network of receptors.

Co-cultivation of broccoli endophytic fungi with broccoli hairy roots enhances accumulation of the anticancer compound sulforaphane and its precursor glucoraphanin

Industrial Crops and Products
Glucoraphanin (GRA), the primary aliphatic glucosinolate in broccoli, serves as the precursor to sulforaphane (SF), a compound widely recognized for its potent anticancer properties.

Plant defense strategies: The dual armor of disease resistance and tolerance

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.
Plants employ dual strategies against pathogens: Resistance limits invasion via immune responses, whereas tolerance mitigates damage to sustain growth—together enhancing survival under infections. Abstract Pathogen infections pose a significant threat to plant health, global food security, and ecosystems.

Zymoseptoria tritici stealth infection is facilitated by stage‐specific downregulation of a β‐glucanase

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 3191-3207, December 2025.
Summary Plant cell walls constitute a major defence barrier against pathogens, although it is unclear how specific cell wall components impact pathogen colonisation. Pathogens secrete cell wall‐degrading enzymes (CWDEs) to facilitate plant colonisation, but damaged or infected cells are often a source of cell wall‐derived oligosaccharides that trigger ...

RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis of Amaranthus palmeri with differential tolerance to glufosinate herbicide.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Amaranthus palmeri (Amaranthaceae) is a noxious weed in several agroecosystems and in some cases seriously threatens the sustainability of crop production in North America.

Versatile Applications of CRISPR‐Based Programmable T‐DNA Integration in Plants

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 5950-5964, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Agrobacterium‐mediated T‐DNA integration into plant genomes represents a cornerstone for transgenic expression in plant basic research and synthetic biology. However, random T‐DNA integration can disrupt essential endogenous genes or compromise transgene expression, stressing the need for targeted integration strategies.

Nitric oxide delays the postharvest nutritional quality decline of “Golden Hook” beans

Food Frontiers
“Golden Hook” beans turn purple to different degrees due to the different compositions and contents of flavonoids during storage. At the same time, quality losses due to softening or pathogen invasion, and the deteriorations of flavor associated with ...
