Fighting the enemy: How rice survives the blast pathogen’s attack
Global food security is threatened by rice blast disease caused by the filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. An understanding of rice resistance mechanisms is fundamental to developing strategies for disease control.

A plant effector-triggered immunity signaling sector is inhibited by pattern-triggered immunity. [PDF]
Since signaling machineries for two modes of plant-induced immunity, pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI), extensively overlap, PTI and ETI signaling likely interact. In an Arabidopsis quadruple mutant, in which four major sectors of the signaling network, jasmonate, ethylene, PAD4, and salicylate, are disabled, the ...

Receptors in the Induction of the Plant Innate Immunity
Plants adjust amplitude and duration of immune responses via different strategies to maintain growth, development, and resistance to pathogens. Pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI ...

Functions of Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinases in Plant Innate Immunity
An increase of cytosolic Ca2+ is generated by diverse physiological stimuli and stresses, including pathogen attack. Plants have evolved two branches of the immune system to defend against pathogen infections.

Unseen Struggles: How Plant-Parasitic Nematodes Manipulate ROS Signaling in Host Plants
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a central role in plant defense, especially during interactions with plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs). These molecules act as early signals that activate immune responses and help reinforce plant cell walls to block ...

Pathogenic bacteria produce virulence factors called effectors, which are important components of the infection process. Effectors aid in pathogenesis by facilitating bacterial attachment, pathogen entry into or exit from the host cell, immunoevasion, and immunosuppression.

Cell-type-specific execution of effector-triggered immunity
Summary Effector-triggered immunity (ETI) is a central component of host defense, but whether all cell types execute ETI similarly remains unknown. We combined chemically imposed immune activation with single-cell transcriptomics to profile ETI responses across all leaf cell types in Arabidopsis.

Unanticipated specificity in effector-triggered immunity
Effector-triggered immunity (ETI) enables hosts to react to pathogens by monitoring few key cellular processes. ETI responses are assumed to be similar toward related pathogen effectors. However, recent evidence from the invertebrate model Caenorhabditis elegans and pore-forming toxins indicates a much more complex and specific ETI than previously ...

The Immune Redoxome: Effector-Triggered Immunity Switches Cysteine Oxidation Profiles [PDF]
The changing climate impacts the interactions between plants and their surrounding environment, including pathogen invaders ([Mhamdi and Noctor, 2016][1]). Plant immune responses are often associated with increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), also known as the oxidative burst ...
