Cytokinins Promote Rust Susceptibility in Poplar by Suppressing Defence Signalling, Reducing Defence Accumulation and Reprogramming Primary Metabolism

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cytokinins (CKs), classically recognised as plant growth regulators, are increasingly implicated in plant‐microbe interactions. Studies in herbaceous plants suggest that CKs can function as signalling molecules with dual roles in plant defence, either restricting or facilitating pathogen infection.

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.

From Plants to Animals: Cross‐Kingdom Infection by Fungal Phytopathogens

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant pathogenic fungi exhibit significant ecological diversity that is under pressure from climate change, yet their relevance to both human and ecosystem health remains underexplored within the One Health framework. Several phytopathogenic lineages have demonstrated the ability to infect vertebrate hosts.

Understanding Plant Parasitism: Hydnora Africana and European Scientific Practice in the Early Nineteenth Century**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 315-334, September 2026.
This article will analyze the uncertainties around collecting and classifying Hydnora africana in the first half of the nineteenth century. Emerging from the distinctive dryland ecologies of South Africa, Hydnora was interpreted as strange and cryptic by Europeans primarily because it is a root parasite—a complex floral trait that was little understood.

Harnessing plant susceptibility genes into strategies for enhanced disease resistance

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Integrated model of S gene modules in plant pathogen interactions. This model summarises representative host susceptibility modules that can be exploited by bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens. In the bacterial infection module, Xanthomonas transcription activator‐like effectors activate OsSWEET14 through effector‐binding elements in its promoter ...

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

Integrated Functional Characterization of Hemileia vastatrix Effector Candidates Reveals Coordinated Immune Suppression, Sequential Deployment and Compartment‐Specific Targeting

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
A bacterial effector delivery screen identifies PTI‐suppressing Hemileia vastatrix effector candidates. ABSTRACT Coffee leaf rust, caused by the obligate biotrophic fungus Hemileia vastatrix, remains the most destructive disease of coffee worldwide.

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.

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 ...
