Ubiquitin‐specific proteases (UBPs) process deubiquitination in eukaryotic organisms and
are widely involved in plant development and responses to environmental stress. However …

Recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns by pattern recognition receptors
(PRRs) activates the innate immune response. Although PRR-mediated signaling events …

Rice is a staple crop for over half of the global population. However, blast disease caused by
Magnaporthe orzae can result in more than a 30% loss in rice yield in epidemic years …

Plants activate their immune system through intracellular signaling pathways after
perceiving microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). Receptor-like cytoplasmic …

Crops with broad-spectrum resistance loci are highly desirable in agricultural production
because these loci often confer resistance to most races of a pathogen or multiple pathogen …

Plant immunity is fine-tuned to balance growth and defense. However, little is yet known
about molecular mechanisms underlying immune homeostasis in rice (Oryza sativa). In this …

Crops experience herbivory by arthropods and microbial infections. In the interaction
between plants and chewing herbivores, lepidopteran larval oral secretions (OS) and plant …

Background Cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs) induce plant immune responses and E3
ubiquitin ligases are known to play important roles in regulating plant defenses. Expression …

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 …

Reversible protein ubiquitination plays essential roles in regulating cellular processes.
Although many reports have described the functions of ubiquitination in plant defense …
