Suppression of ZmJAZ12 Expression Modulates Jasmonic Acid and Salicylic Acid Signalling and Enhances Maize Resistance to Southern Corn Rust

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
We identified ZmJAZ12 as a key susceptibility regulator that suppresses JA/SA‐mediated defence through its interaction with ZmMYC5, thereby uncovering a hormonal crosstalk mechanism governing maize resistance to southern corn rust. ABSTRACT Southern corn rust (SCR), caused by the biotrophic fungus Puccinia polysora, severely threatens maize yield ...

Tandem Kinase WTK1 Triggers Waves of Transcriptional Reprogramming Underlying Wheat Resistance to Stripe Rust

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Tandem kinases are emerging regulators of plant immunity, but the downstream defense programs they activate remain poorly understood. Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a major constraint on global wheat production. The Yr15 resistance gene, derived from wild emmer wheat, encodes the tandem kinase protein WTK1.

Phloem-Conducting Cells in Haustoria of the Root-Parasitic Plant Phelipanche aegyptiaca Retain Nuclei and Are Not Mature Sieve Elements

Plants, 2017
Phelipanche aegyptiaca parasitizes a wide range of plants, including important crops, and causes serious damage to their production. P. aegyptiaca develops a specialized intrusive organ called a haustorium that establishes connections to the host’s xylem

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 ...

Overview of the functional virulent genome of the coffee leaf rust pathogen Hemileia vastatrix with an emphasis on early stages of infection

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Hemileia vastatrix is the causal agent of coffee leaf rust, the most important disease of coffee (Coffea arabica). In this work, a 454-pyrosequencing transcriptome analysis of H.

Hemiparasitic Castilleja presence is correlated with increased plant biodiversity across montane plant communities

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise Root hemiparasites form haustoria in belowground roots of hosts to extract nutrients and water from the surrounding hosts. Through parasitic symbiosis, these plants disproportionately affect plant communities relative to their abundance by reducing host size, altering nutrient flow, and eventually increasing local biodiversity.

Decoding MAPK cascades in plant immunity: Activation, regulation, integration, and pathogen manipulation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3000-3024, August 2026.
This review focuses on mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and summarizes how plants regulate and integrate MAPK signaling in modulating plant immune responses. It also examines the effectors pathogens have evolved to manipulate MAPK activation and thereby inhibit plant immunity.

Transformation and regeneration of the holoparasitic plant Phelipanche aegyptiaca

Plant Methods, 2011
Background Transformation and subsequent regeneration of holoparasitic plants has never been reported, in part due to challenges in developing transformation protocols, but also because regeneration of obligate parasites is difficult since their survival

14‐3‐3 proteins: Central hubs in plant development and stress adaptation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3107-3132, August 2026.
This review highlights recent advances elucidating the important roles of 14‐3‐3 proteins in regulating phytohormone networks, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, growth‐defense trade‐offs, and evolutionary adaptations. Furthermore, it provides a forward‐looking perspective on 14‐3‐3 biology and the development of climate‐resilient smart crops under ...

Soil Phosphorus Availability Modulates Host Selectivity of Pedicularis kansuensis Between Legumes and Grasses

Plants
Host selectivity or preference plays a critical role in enabling parasitic plants to identify suitable hosts and influence plant community dynamics. Phosphorus (P) is known to affect the growth of root hemiparasitic plants and their interaction with ...
