The Transcription Factors HbWRKY29 and HbPTI5 cooperatively enhance rubber tree resistance to powdery mildew

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Upon Erysiphe quercicola infection, rubber HbWRKY29 is rapidly induced and physically interacts with HbPTI5 to trigger HR. HbWRKY29 binds the HbPTI5 promoter (W‐box), enhancing HbPTI5 expression, which activates HbTLP1 expression, leading to reinforced defence.

ZmWRKY29 Transcriptionally Represses ZmRBOHC to Attenuate ROS Production and Facilitates Gibberella Stalk Rot Susceptibility in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4044-4060, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gibberella stalk rot (GSR), caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum, severely threatens maize production. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying maize resistance to GSR remain poorly understood. Here, we have identified ZmWRKY29 as a transcriptional repressor induced by F.

The TALE PthA4 of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri Indirectly Activates an Expansin Gene CsEXP2 and an Endoglucanase CsEG1 via CsLOB1 to Cause Citrus Canker Symptoms

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions
Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) is an important citrus disease worldwide. PthA4 is the most important pathogenicity gene of Xcc and encodes a transcription activator-like effector (TALE) secreted by the type III secretion ...

Telomere‐to‐Telomere Genomes Reveal that Multiscale Evolution Shapes the Largest Metabolic Arsenal of Diaporthe Fungi

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
This study presents the first telomere‐to‐telomere genomes and population resources for Diaporthe pathogens, uncovering the largest known fungal repertoire of secondary metabolite gene clusters. Structural variations and horizontal gene transfer drive cluster diversification, while specific rapidly evolving clusters control virulence, offering novel ...

A suitable approach to resource allocation in biosecurity when considering dependent benefits and costs

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1519-1534, May 2026.
Abstract Optimal allocation of resources to the management of biosecurity risk, threatened species conservation or natural hazards such as bushfires is imperative—because program budgets are usually finite and, therefore, constrained. However, effectively dividing resources among management activities to achieve the greatest benefit remains a ...

A Hanks‐type bacterial kinase, PknS, directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK to promote resistance to protist predation

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 9, Page 2772-2793, May 2026.
The Xanthomonas citri Hanks‐type kinase PknS autophosphorylates and directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK at five residues. Besides the conserved residue T51 in the σ2 domain, phosphorylation of a residue in the linker between σ2 and σ4 is critical for EcfK activation by promoting its interaction with a positively charged pocket in ...

‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ Effector SDE525 hijacks NACα to Suppress Jasmonic Acid‐Mediated Immunity in Citrus

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
The ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ secreted protein SDE525 suppresses the plant jasmonic acid defence pathway by targeting the citrus NACα protein, thereby weakening citrus resistance against the Asian citrus psyllid. ABSTRACT Citrus huanglongbing (HLB), caused by the phloem‐limited bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), is one of ...
