A Metalloprotease from Xanthomonas campestris That Specifically Degrades Proline/Hydroxyproline-Rich Glycoproteins of the Plant Extracellular Matrix

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998
Culture supernatants of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris contain an enzymic activity capable of degrading gp120, a proline-rich glycoprotein associated with the extracellular matrix of the vascular bundles in petioles of turnip (Brassica campestris).

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...

Contribution of rpfB to Cell-to-Cell Signal Synthesis, Virulence, and Vector Transmission of Xylella fastidiosa

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2012
In Xylella fastidiosa the fatty acid signal molecule diffusible signaling factor (DSF) is produced and sensed by components of the regulation of pathogenicity factors (rpf) cluster; lack of DSF production in RpfF mutants results in a non-vector ...

Requirement of a mip-Like Gene for Virulence in the Phytopathogenic Bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007
Macrophage infectivity potentiators (Mips) are FKBP domain-containing proteins reported as virulence factors in several human pathogens, such as members of genera Legionella, Salmonella and Chlamydia.

Functional Dissection of a Wheat NLR Protein Reveals a Minimal Active Region and Key Regulatory Sites for Immune Signalling

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
The coiled‐coil domain functions as the core signalling module of wheat NLRMoro, with residues 62–116 forming a minimal active region whose activity is fine‐tuned by intramolecular NBS and LRR regulation and key control sites. ABSTRACT Nucleotide‐binding site (NBS) leucine‐rich repeat (LRR) receptors (NLRs) are crucial for plant immunity but often come

From bacterial predators to partners: phages in agriculture

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2729-2735, March 2026.
Summary Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, are critical players for shaping the taxonomic and functional composition of plant‐associated microbiomes. Yet, their roles in plant health remain overlooked, along with their implications for sustainable agriculture.

Alternaria alternata Effector Aa593 Promotes Virulence by Hijacking the CmNAC29‐Mediated Abscisic Acid Biosynthesis Pathway in Chrysanthemum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 887-904, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The interaction between plants and pathogens has long been an actively researched field of plant immunity. In this study, we found an Aa593/CmNAC29‐CmNCED3 module associated with the interaction between chrysanthemum and the fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata.
