Identification of resistance sources and genomic regions regulating spot blotch resistance in Asian bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) via genome‐wide association study

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Spot blotch (SB), caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, is a major yield‐limiting disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the warm, humid agroclimatic zones of South Asia. The development of resistant cultivars through molecular approaches offers a sustainable strategy for managing this disease.

Predator–Microbe Dynamics Inform Strategies for Robust Synthetic Community Assembly

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
This Review introduces ecological principles of predator–prey interactions as a new dimension in SynCom design. By linking microbial defence traits, encounter dynamics, and adaptive buffering, it outlines a framework for constructing predator‐resistant synthetic communities with enhanced resilience, stability, and functional performance under natural ...

Two lysine motif receptor-like kinases (VvLYKs) participate in chitin-triggered immunity in grapevine

, 2017
In nature, plants are constantly exposed to potentially pathogenic microbes such as bacteria, fungi, oomycetes or viruses. However, plants have developed effective immune systems triggering various defence reactions against invading pathogens upon the perception of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs; Dodds and Rathjen, 2010). The recognition

A Walk in the Park: Influence of Natural Co‐Exposure to Grass Pollen and Fungal Spores on Nasal Mycobiome and Cytokine Responses

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, Volume 56, Issue 6, Page 617-628, June 2026.
Volunteers stayed 3 h indoors and followed 1 h outdoors in a flowering meadow. Nasal mycobiome was analysed and aeroallergen content measured in nasal filters. Airborne fungal spores were quantified and fungal isolates were sequenced. Isolated fungal spores were used for stimulation of nasal epithelial cells.

Functional analysis of RALF peptides in soybean immunity and disease resistance

Phytopathology Research
Plant cell-surface-localized pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize conserved microbial patterns to activate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), which confers mild and broad-spectrum resistance to most microbes.

The Pathogenesis‐Related Protein 4b Induced by Rice Stripe Virus Enhances Host's Antiviral Defence

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
OsPR4b is induced by RSV to inhibit viral infection via regulating RNA metabolism and cell wall reinforcement, while its knockdown modulates NAC/MYB/ERF/WRKY family genes and enhances viral accumulation. ABSTRACT Rice stripe virus (RSV) causes rice stripe disease, which poses a serious threat to rice production.

Plant U-box E3 ligases PUB20 and PUB21 negatively regulate pattern-triggered immunity in Arabidopsis

Plant U-box proteins (PUBs) constitute a class of E3 ligases that are associated with various stress responses. Among the class IV PUBs featuring C-terminal Armadillo (ARM) repeats, PUB20 and PUB21 are closely related homologs.
