Phytosulfokine signalling blocks mycotoxin toxicity in Arabidopsis and mediates suppression of cell death activated by bacterial microbe‐associated molecular patterns

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2515-2530, March 2026.
Summary Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin that disrupts ceramide biosynthesis and kills plants. Prior activation with bacterial microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), such as components of bacterial flagella, effectively suppresses FB1‐induced cell death.

Welcome Pathogens: Transient Heat Dampens Immune Responses to Acibenzolar‐S‐Methyl in Apple Plants

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1229-1248, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change affects plant‐pathogen interactions, with disease outcome varying depending on the pathosystem and environmental scenario. In Arabidopsis, a thermo‐sensitive module of salicylic acid (SA) signalling makes immunity vulnerable to heat.

Dual‐Role GH7 Family Proteins From Verticillium dahliae Function as Virulence Factors and Intracellular Effectors Triggering NLR‐Mediated Immunity

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1491-1504, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cell wall–degrading enzymes are viewed as extracellular virulence factors. However, their potential to act as immune elicitors and interact with intracellular immune receptors remains poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that six conserved glycoside hydrolase 7 (GH7) family proteins from the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae have dual roles

When Metabolomics Meets Quantitative Genetics: An Integrative Strategy to Elucidate Plant Resistance Mechanisms

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1712-1727, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Gene pyramiding in crop varieties offers a promising strategy to achieve sustainable production and reduce reliance on pesticides. However, stacking resistance genes without understanding their biological functions may result in transient protection.

Emergence of Staphylococcus aureus Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides Nisin, NZ2114 and Bacitracin Involves Multiple Phenotypic Changes

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 82-93, February 2026.
The AMP‐induced mutant Staphylococcus aureus strain nzR showed increased resistance, five gene mutations, and decreased surface anion levels. AMPs affect the NDH‐2 protein encoded by ndh gene inhibiting the growth of S. aureus. The deletion of the ndh gene promotes the development of AMPs resistance.

Crosstalk Between Intratumoral Microbes and Tumor Immunity: Implications for Tumor Therapy

open access: yesCancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Emerging studies indicate that microbes are present in tumor cells and immune cells. Intratumoral microbiota (ITM) constitute an important component of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and have an important impact on tumor progression and treatment. Objective Through the general elaboration of ITM represented by bacteria and

Prp19-associated splicing factor Cwf15 regulates fungal virulence and development in the rice blast fungus.

Environmental Microbiology, 2021
The splicing factor Cwf15 is an essential component of the Prp19-associated component of the spliceosome and regulates intron splicing in several model species, including yeasts and human cells.

Fooling TLR4 to promote fungal virulence

Immunity, 2022
The invasive fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans promotes type 2 immunity to escape host defenses by unknown mechanisms. In a recent issue of Nature, Dang and colleagues identify a secreted fungal protein that triggers TLR4 signaling and supports a type 2 permissive environment and C. neoformans growth.

Siderophores in Fungal Physiology and Virulence

Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2008
Maintaining the appropriate balance of iron between deficiency and toxicity requires fine-tuned control of systems for iron uptake and storage. Both among fungal species and within a single species, different systems for acquisition, storage, and regulation of iron are present.
