Reversal of an immunity associated plant cell death program by the growth regulator auxin [PDF]
One form of plant immunity against pathogens involves a rapid host programmed cell death at the site of infection accompanied by resistance, termed the hypersensitive response (HR).

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.

Advances in Fungal Elicitor-Triggered Plant Immunity
There is an array of pathogenic fungi in the natural environment of plants, which produce some molecules including pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and effectors during infection.

Plant volatiles as regulators of plant defense and herbivore immunity: molecular mechanisms and unanswered questions [PDF]
Plants release distinct blends of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) upon herbivore attack. HIPVs have long been known to influence the behavior of herbivores and natural enemies.

Identification of receptor complex components and receptor activation mechanisms in plant innate immunity [PDF]
Plants rely on an innate immune system which successfully recognizes and restricts pathogenic microbes. The key for this defense is the detection of pathogen derived non-self signatures and endogenous elicitors released during a microbial attack.

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.

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.

Arabidopsis Topless-related 1 mitigates physiological damage and growth penalties of induced immunity [PDF]
Transcriptional corepressors of the Topless family are important regulators of plant hormone and immunity signaling. The lack of a genome-wide profile of their chromatin associations limits understanding of transcriptional regulation in plant immune ...
