Diverse yet-uncultivated bacteria and archaea, i.e., microbial dark matter, are present in terrestrial hot spring environments. Numerous metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of these uncultivated prokaryotes by short-read metagenomics have been reported ...

Comparative analysis of de novo genomes reveals dynamic intra-species divergence of NLRs in pepper
Background Peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) containing distinct capsaicinoids are the most widely cultivated spices in the world. However, extreme genomic diversity among species represents an obstacle to breeding pepper.

Membrane-triggered plant immunity [PDF]
Plants have evolved sophisticated defense mechanisms to resist pathogen invasion. Upon the pathogen recognition, the host plants activate a variety of signal transduction pathways, and one of representative defense responses is systemic acquired resistance (SAR) that provides strong immunity against secondary infections in systemic tissues ...

A Novel and Efficient Platform for Discovering Noncanonical Quorum-Quenching Proteins
Quorum sensing (QS) is a well-known chemical signaling system responsible for intercellular communication that is widespread in bacteria. Acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) is the most-studied QS signal.

Plant Aquaporins in Infection by and Immunity Against Pathogens – A Critical Review
Plant aquaporins (AQPs) of the plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) family face constant risk of hijack by pathogens aiming to infect plants. PIPs can also be involved in plant immunity against infection.

Plant immunity inducers: from discovery to agricultural application
While conventional chemical fungicides directly eliminate pathogens, plant immunity inducers activate or prime plant immunity. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms of immune regulation in plants.

Jasmonate-Triggered Plant Immunity [PDF]
The plant hormone jasmonate (JA) exerts direct control over the production of chemical defense compounds that confer resistance to a remarkable spectrum of plant-associated organisms, ranging from microbial pathogens to vertebrate herbivores. The underlying mechanism of JA-triggered immunity (JATI) can be conceptualized as a multi-stage signal ...
