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.

ABSTRACT Maize production is influenced by both macronutrient‐driven growth and resistance to various abiotic and biotic stresses. While phosphorus (P) is essential for maize growth and productivity, its role in maize immunity remains elusive. Here, we characterized a maize lesion mimic mutant, les33, which exhibits enhanced resistance to southern corn

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Leaf Structure and Hormonal Balance Modulate Host‐Specificity and Pathogenicity of Botrytis cinerea
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea, a highly successful necrotrophic fungal plant pathogen, demonstrates a remarkably broad host range, yet the precise factors governing its host specificity and its ability to coexist non‐pathogenically with plants remain unclear. This study systematically assessed host preference in a series of B. cinerea agricultural isolates,

Sugars as Central Integrators of Plant Immunity and Stress Responses
ABSTRACT Sugars are fundamental metabolites that sustain plant growth and development, but accumulating evidence demonstrates that they also function as regulatory hubs in plant defence. In this review, we synthesise current knowledge on how carbohydrate dynamics coordinate metabolism, signalling, and structural responses to shape plant resistance ...

ABSTRACT Hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs) are phenylpropanoid‐derived metabolites traditionally associated with antimicrobial defence and cell wall reinforcement during plant–pathogen interactions. However, their contribution to plant responses to mechanical injury, particularly in wound healing and damage‐induced signalling, remains poorly ...

Rhizosphere Microbiomes Respond to Plant‐Parasitic Nematode Cues and Contribute to Host Defence
ABSTRACT Plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs) cause major crop losses, while current nematicides face increasing regulatory restrictions and often show inconsistent efficacy. We tested whether nematode‐associated cues activate rhizosphere microbiomes and cuticle‐associated fungi to produce suppressive metabolites that impair nematodes and stimulate host ...

ABSTRACT Plant pathogenic fungi secrete a wide array of effector proteins to manipulate host immunity, including those containing CFEM (Common in Fungal Extracellular Membranes) domains. Here, we identified a CFEM domain‐containing effector VdCR from Verticillium dahliae, the causal agent of cotton Verticillium wilt.
