Fighting the enemy: How rice survives the blast pathogen’s attack
Crop Journal, 2021 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.

Salicylic acid receptors activate jasmonic acid signalling through a non-canonical pathway to promote effector-triggered immunity. [PDF]
, 2016 It is an apparent conundrum how plants evolved effector-triggered immunity (ETI), involving programmed cell death (PCD), as a major defence mechanism against biotrophic pathogens, because ETI-associated PCD could leave them vulnerable to necrotrophic ...

The Potato MAP3K StVIK Is Required for the Phytophthora infestans RXLR Effector Pi17316 to Promote Disease [PDF]
, 2018 Plant pathogens deliver effectors to manipulate processes in their hosts, creating an environment for disease. Yet little is known about the host proteins that are targeted by effectors from filamentous pathogens.

Functions of Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinases in Plant Innate Immunity
Plants, 2014 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.

A plant effector-triggered immunity signaling sector is inhibited by pattern-triggered immunity. [PDF]
EMBO J, 2017 AbstractSince 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,

Development and function of protective and pathologic memory CD4 T cells [PDF]
, 2015 Immunological memory is one of the defining features of the adaptive immune system. As key orchestrators and mediators of immunity, CD4 T cells are central to the vast majority of adaptive immune responses.

Eggplant and related species are promising genetic resources to dissect the plant immune response to Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas euvesicatoria and to identify new resistance determinants [PDF]
, 2014 The apparent lack of durability of many resistance (R) genes highlights the need for the constant identification of new genetic sources of resistance for the breeding of new disease-resistant crop cultivars.

Molecular Mechanisms Used by Salmonella to Evade the Immune System [PDF]
, 2017 Human and animal pathogens are able to circumvent, at least temporarily, the sophisticated immune defenses of their hosts. Several serovars of the Gram-negative bacterium Salmonella enterica have been used as models for the study of pathogen-host ...
