α‐1,3‐Glucan Is Required for Cell Wall Integrity and Full Virulence of Colletotrichum graminicola, but Not for Evasion of PAMP‐Triggered Immunity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abbreviated Summary The role of the major fungal cell wall polymer α‐1,3‐glucan in plant infection is poorly understood. Deletion mutants of the maize anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum graminicola lacking all three α‐1,3‐glucan synthase genes differentiated severely distorted biotrophic hyphae in planta, and virulence was strongly reduced.

An Updated Review of the Opportunities and Challenges in Insects as Food and Feed

Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global demand for sustainable protein sources is increasing in response to population growth, climate change and food insecurity. Edible insects are a promising alternative, offering nutritional, environmental and socio‐economic advantages.

Differential ubiquitin modifications of ESCRT‐I subunits VPS37‐1 and VPS28‐2 positively regulate plant immunity

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
The RING type ubiquitin ligase (E3), XBAT35.2, positively regulates FLS2‐mediated plant immunity against bacterial pathogens by modifying the ESCRT‐I subunits VPS28‐2 and VPS37‐1 with distinct ubiquitin chain types. Summary Sensing of pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by pattern recognition receptors at the cell surface initiates the first

‐4 controls pattern‐triggered immunity and basal resistance to bacterial and fungal pathogens in rice

, 2023
International audienceReceptor‐like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) mediate the intracellular signaling downstream of pattern‐recognition receptors (PRRs). Several RLCKs from subfamily VII of rice ( Oryza sativa ) have important roles in plant immunity, but ...

Apoplast multi‐omics profiling during fungal infection uncovers new players of basal and early induced immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Important processes taking place in the apoplast during plant–pathogen interaction identified by multi‐omics profiling of the apoplastic fluid. Summary The extracellular space in plant tissues, known as the apoplast, remains one of the least characterized cellular compartments.

The role of chitin detection in plant-pathogen interactions

, 2011
Despite the deployment of antifungal defence strategies, fungal diseases occur in all types of multicellular organisms. In plants, the role of fungal chitin as pathogen-associated molecular pattern that activates host defence is well established ...

Acetylation and accessibility of Cryptococcus neoformans cell wall chitosans influence the strength of host immune responses

The Cell Surface
The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans causes fatal cryptococcal meningitis, a significant global health risk. Unlike most fungi, C. neoformans expresses chitin deacetylases that convert its cell wall chitin into chitosan, helping to evade chitin ...

The Cytosolic Iron–Sulfur Cluster Assembly Targeting Complex Is Hijacked by Magnaporthe Effector AvrPi9 to Suppress Rice Resistance

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cytosolic iron–sulfur (Fe‐S) cluster assembly (CIA) targeting complex mediates the maturation of cytosolic and nuclear Fe‐S proteins and governs core eukaryotic cellular processes. However, whether this complex contributes to plant disease resistance remains unclear.

LYM2-dependent chitin perception limits molecular flux via plasmodesmata

, 2013
Chitin acts as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern from fungal pathogens whose perception triggers a range of defense responses. We show that LYSIN MOTIF DOMAIN-CONTAINING GLYCOSYLPHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL-ANCHORED PROTEIN 2 (LYM2), the Arabidopsis ...
