A mechanistic framework for the recognition of chemically diverse brassinosteroids by BRI1-family receptor kinases
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are chemically diverse plant steroid hormones produced via a branched biosynthetic pathway. The potent BR brassinolide is sensed by the membrane receptor kinase BRI1 and a SERK ...

The sTDIF signaling peptide modulates the root stele diameter and primary metabolism to accommodate symbiotic nodulation
Teyssendier de la Serve et al. identify a novel symbiotic response induced by nitrogen-fixing
rhizobia on host plant roots, corresponding to a stele diameter enlargement. This
response requires a TDIF...

Neofunctionalized RGF pathways drive haustorial organogenesis in parasitic plants
Parasitic plants initiate rapid de novo organogenesis of a specialized feeding structure called a haustorium upon contact with their hosts. Currently, little is known about the internal signals regula...

Evolution of a vascular plant pathogen is associated with the loss of CRISPR-Cas and an increase in genome plasticity and virulence genes
Paauw et al. report on the evolution of a plant pathogenic Xanthomonas pathovar and
show that the gain of mobile genetic elements and virulence factors coincided with
the loss of the CRISPR-Cas genome...

A trehalase-derived MAMP triggers LecRK-V-mediated immune responses in Arabidopsis
Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) cause major agricultural losses worldwide, yet the molecular basis of plant immunity against these pathogens remains poorly understood. To investigate how plants recog...

Endogenous RALF peptide function is required for powdery mildew host colonization
The receptor kinase FERONIA (FER) is a susceptibility factor for biotrophic powdery mildew fungal pathogens in Arabidopsis thaliana, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. FER...

Immunity gene silencing increases transient protein expression in Nicotiana benthamiana
Agroinfiltration of Nicotiana benthamiana is routinely used for transient gene expression in plant sciences and molecular pharming. Here, we depleted transcripts of 21 different immunity-related genes...
