Analysis of Barley Leaf Epidermis and Extrahaustorial Proteomes During Powdery Mildew Infection Reveals That the PR5 Thaumatin-Like Protein TLP5 Is Required for Susceptibility Towards Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Powdery mildews are biotrophic pathogens causing fungal diseases in many economically important crops, including cereals, which are affected by Blumeria graminis.

CRISPR gene editing to improve crop resistance to parasitic plants

Frontiers in Genome Editing, 2023
Parasitic plants pose a significant threat to global agriculture, causing substantial crop losses and hampering food security. In recent years, CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) gene-editing technology has emerged as a ...

A Meta‐Analysis Reveals That the Protective Role of Silicon in Grasses Against Fungal Pathogens Depends on Infection Mechanism

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5947-5964, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Pathogen infection drives plant community structure and constrains global agricultural productivity. Silicon (Si) improves resistance to abiotic and herbivory stress, particularly in grasses, but relatively little attention has addressed Si‐mediated resistance to pathogens, nor has it tested how this varies according to the type of plant and ...

Comprehensive biochemical profiling of coconut haustorium for innovative food industry applications

CyTA - Journal of Food
Coconut haustorium is a tropical delicacy that mobilizes nutrients from the endosperm to nourish the germinating embryo. This study profiles coconut haustorium for sugars, organic acids, phenolics, and flavonoids using advanced chromatographic techniques.

Stoichiometric mismatches between Australian showy mistletoes and their hosts: You are what you assimilate

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Ecological stoichiometry emphasizes that mismatches between the elemental composition of organisms and their resources can shape ecological interactions, evolutionary trajectories, and nutrient cycling. For hemiparasitic plants such as mistletoes, which draw water and nutrients from hosts while maintaining their own photosynthesis, such ...

Puccinia triticina Effector Pt3863 Targets and Subverts TaRLCK176 to Suppress Wheat Resistance to Leaf Rust

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
TaRLCK176 is a critical immune hub that positively modulates wheat resistance to leaf rust and is specifically targeted by the Puccinia triticina effector Pt3863. Notably, Pt3863 has evolved a sophisticated virulence strategy to simultaneously disrupt both the phosphorylation‐mediated activation and proteasomal stability of TaRLCK176, thereby impairing

An Investigation into the Involvement of Defense Signaling Pathways in Components of the Nonhost Resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana to Rust Fungi Also Reveals a Model System for Studying Rust Fungal Compatibility

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2003
Seventeen accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana inoculated with the cowpea rust fungus Uromyces vignae exhibited a variety of expressions of nonhost resistance, although infection hypha growth typically ceased before the formation of the first haustorium ...

Potential Virulence Factors in Pyrenophora teres Through Label‐Free Cellular Proteomics Analysis

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
This study presents the first label‐free proteomic profile of Pyrenophora teres, identifying potential virulence factors unique to virulent isolates. These proteins were mapped to the P. teres f. teres reference genome and previously identified virulence QTL, providing a valuable resource for future research. ABSTRACT Pyrenophora teres f.

Effects of Sulfated Modification on the Structural Characterization and Antioxidant Activities of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)Haustorium Polysaccharide

Shipin gongye ke-ji
To investigate the effect of sulfated modification on the structure and function of coconut haustorium polysaccharide (CHP), three kinds of sulfated coconut haustorium polysaccharides (SCHP-2, SCHP-3, and SCHP-4) were prepared using sulfation reagents ...

Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...
