RNAi in the Rhizarian Phytopathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae: The Causal Agent of Clubroot Disease in Cruciferous Crops [PDF]

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers an unusual RNAi pathway in the rhizarian pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. In the absence of Dicer, a Drosha‐like RNase III protein supports the biogenesis of predominant 21‐nt small RNAs, and two Argonaute proteins mediate small RNA‐guided silencing.

Two transmembrane transcriptional regulators coordinate to activate chitin-induced natural transformation in Vibrio cholerae [PDF]

PLOS Genetics
ABSTRACT Transcriptional regulators are a broad class of proteins that alter gene expression in response to environmental stimuli. Transmembrane transcriptional regulators (TTRs) are a subset of transcriptional regulators in bacteria that can directly regulate gene expression while remaining anchored in the membrane ...

Conversion of a recA-Mediated Non-toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 Strain to a Toxigenic Strain Using Chitin-Induced Transformation [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains, including strains in serogroups O1 and O139 associated with the clinical disease cholera, are ubiquitous in aquatic reservoirs, including fresh, estuarine, and marine environments.

Chitin-Induced Activation of Immune Signaling by the Rice Receptor CEBiP Relies on a Unique Sandwich-Type Dimerization [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014
Significance Chitin perception by plant receptors triggers various defense responses important for plant immunity. We show the molecular basis of chitin recognition by the rice receptor, CEBiP (chitin-elicitor binding protein), and following receptor dimerization based on the results of biochemical studies ...

Linnemannia elongata: A Key Species in Chitin-Based Plant Growth Promotion

Phytobiomes Journal
Chitin has proven to be a valuable alternative to mineral fertilizers in growing media. We recently hypothesized that chitin might work as a biostimulant, attracting plant growth-promoting microbes to the rhizosphere.

Conservation of Chitin-Induced MAPK Signaling Pathways in Rice and Arabidopsis [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2017
Perception of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) including chitin by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) rapidly induces activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. However, how PRRs transmit immune signals to the MAPK cascade is largely unknown.

Chitin amendments eliminate the negative impacts of continuous cropping obstacles on soil properties and microbial assemblage

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Continuous cropping of soybean leads to soil environment deterioration and soil-borne disease exacerbation, which in turn limits the sustainability of agricultural production.

Three LysM effectors of Zymoseptoria tritici collectively disarm chitin‐triggered plant immunity [PDF]

, 2021
Chitin is a major structural component of fungal cell walls and acts as a microbe‐associated molecular pattern (MAMP) that, on recognition by a plant host, triggers the activation of immune responses.
