Plants have evolved immune systems to fight against pathogens. However, it is still largely
unknown how the plant immunity is finely regulated. Here we identified a BTB/POZ domain …

Disease resistance (R) genes are key components in plant immunity. Here, we show that
Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) E3 ubiquitin ligase genes HISTONE …

The BTB domain is a protein–protein interaction motif found throughout eukaryotes. Here we
report the identification of two closely related BTB domain-containing proteins, POZ/BTB …

Fungal effectors play important roles in host–pathogen interactions. Botryosphaeria
dothidea is an ascomycetous fungus that is responsible for the diseases of hundreds of …

Of the three classes of enzymes involved in ubiquitination, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes
(E2) have been often incorrectly considered to play merely an auxiliary role in the process …

Microbial pathogens of both plants and animals employ virulence factors that suppress the
host immune response. The tomato pathogen Pseudomonas syringae injects the AvrPtoB …

Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) play important roles in plant immunity signaling; thus, many
are hijacked by pathogen effectors to promote successful pathogenesis. Xanthomonas …

Heterotrimeric G proteins, comprising Gα, Gβ, and Gγ subunits, are key regulators of
eukaryotic intracellular signaling. Extra-large G (XLG) proteins are a subfamily of plant …

Phytophthora root and stem rot in soybean (Glycine max) is a destructive disease worldwide,
and hence improving crop resistance to the causal pathogen, P. sojae, is a major target for …

Perception of pathogen/microbial-associated molecular patterns (P/MAMPs) by plant cell
surface receptors leads to a sustained burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS), a key feature …
