Molecular recognition in plant root endosymbiosis. [PDF]
SUMMARY Root endosymbiosis is one of the most intimate types of plant–microbe interactions in which a symbiont is hosted within a living plant cell. In this symbiosis, nitrogen‐fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi support plant nutrient provisioning in exchange for carbohydrates and lipids.

Structure-informed engineering of plant-microbe interactions. [PDF]
SUMMARY This review critically evaluates how structural biology has enabled interface‐informed engineering of plant–microbe interactions, with a clear emphasis on the relative maturity of plant–pathogen research compared with symbiosis engineering. In plant immunity, atomic resolution structures of apoplastic receptors, host targets, and intracellular ...

A GmNRF5a-GmCERK1-GmCAK1 module mediates chitin/chitosan-triggered immune response in soybean. [PDF]
In soybeans, the GmNFR5a‐GmCERK1‐GmCAK1 module regulates immune responses triggered by chitin oligosaccharides and chitosan oligosaccharides from fungal pathogens. This reveals a shared upstream signaling mechanism for distinct microbial patterns and provides valuable genetic targets for improving broad‐spectrum disease resistance in crops.

Genome-Wide Analysis of LysM-Containing Gene Family in Wheat: Structural and Phylogenetic Analysis during Development and Defense. [PDF]
The lysin motif (LysM) family comprise a number of defense proteins that play important roles in plant immunity. The LysM family includes LysM-containing receptor-like proteins (LYP) and LysM-containing receptor-like kinase (LYK).

A virulent milRNA inhibits host immunity by silencing a host receptor-like kinase MaLYK3 and facilitates infection by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense. [PDF]
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense uses an milRNA, Foc‐milR138, to suppress banana host immunity by silencing the unconventional receptor‐like kinase MaLYK3, which lacks a lysine motif but can still activate plant immune responses. Abstract MicroRNA‐like RNAs (milRNAs) play a significant role in the infection process by plant‐pathogenic fungi.

RVE2, a new regulatory factor in jasmonic acid pathway, orchestrates resistance to Verticillium wilt
Summary Verticillium dahliae, one of the most destructive fungal pathogens of several crops, challenges the sustainability of cotton productivity worldwide because very few widely‐cultivated Upland cotton varieties are resistant to Verticillium wilt (VW).

Abstract N‐acetylglucosamine containing compounds acting as pathogenic or symbiotic signals are perceived by plant‐specific Lysin Motif Receptor‐Like Kinases (LysM‐RLKs). The molecular mechanisms of this perception are not fully understood, notably those of lipo‐chitooligosaccharides (LCOs) produced during root endosymbioses with nitrogen‐fixing ...

Functional adaptation of a plant receptor-kinase paved the way for the evolution of intracellular root symbioses with bacteria [PDF]
Nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbioses (RNS) occur in two major forms-Actinorhiza and legume-rhizobium symbiosis-which differ in bacterial partner, intracellular infection pattern, and morphogenesis.
