Suppression of Chitin-Triggered Immunity by Plant Fungal Pathogens: A Case Study of the Cucurbit Powdery Mildew Fungus Podosphaera xanthii [PDF]
Fungal pathogens are significant plant-destroying microorganisms that present an increasing threat to the world’s crop production. Chitin is a crucial component of fungal cell walls and a conserved MAMP (microbe-associated molecular pattern) that can be ...

Suppression of Chitin-Triggered Immunity by a New Fungal Chitin-Binding Effector Resulting from Alternative Splicing of a Chitin Deacetylase Gene [PDF]
Phytopathogenic fungi have evolved mechanisms to manipulate plant defences, such as chitin-triggered immunity, a plant defensive response based on the recognition of chitin oligomers by plant-specific receptors.

The Vitis vinifera receptor VvLYK6 negatively regulates chitin-triggered immune responses and promotes fungal infections [PDF]
IntroductionBotrytis cinerea is recognized as one of the most damaging fungal pathogens affecting grapevine (Vitis vinifera), directly impacting both grape yield and wine quality. Identifying new genes involved in the interaction between V.

CERK1 is required for chitin-triggered reactive oxygen species generation in melon and is broadly conserved in cucurbits [PDF]
CHITIN ELICITOR RECEPTOR KINASE 1 (CERK1), originally identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, encodes a pattern recognition receptor that perceives the fungal cell wall component called chitin to activate immune responses, including the production of ...

MAMP (Microbe-Associated Molecular Pattern) triggered immunity in Plants [PDF]
Plants are sessile organisms that are under constant attack from microbes. They rely on both preformed defenses, and their innate immune system to ward of the microbial pathogens.

The endoplasmic reticulum-localized Ca2+-ATPase OsACA5 regulates immunity and the seed setting rate in rice [PDF]
Calcium signaling plays a central role in plant immunity and development, and its homeostasis relies on the precise regulation of calcium transporters such as Ca2+-ATPases.

Plasmodiophora brassicae CBM18 Proteins Bind Chitin and Suppress Chitin-Triggered Immunity
Plants have a sophisticated and multilayered immune system. However, plant pathogens, helped by effector proteins, have found several strategies to evade plant immunity.
