Vascular wilt fungi are a group of hemibiotrophic phytopathogens that infect diverse crop
plants. These pathogens have adapted to thrive in the nutrient-deprived niche of the plant …

Plants react to a myriad of biotic and abiotic environmental signals through specific cellular
mechanisms required for survival under stress. Although pathogen perception has been …

The plant immunity system is being revisited more and more and new elements and roles
are attributed to participating in the response to biotic stress. The new terminology is also …

Small peptides represent a subset of dark matter in plant proteomes. Through differential
expression patterns and modes of action, small peptides act as important regulators of plant …

Plant immunity is initiated by cell surface-localized receptors upon perception of pathogen-
derived microbe or pathogen-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs/PAMPs) …

Phytocytokines are endogenous danger peptides that are actively released after a pest or
pathogen attack, triggering an amplification of plant immune responses. Here, we found that …

The availability of genome sequences from diverse algal and plant taxa combined with the
refinement of comparative genomics tools has begun to reveal how land plant genomes …

Cellular damage inflicted by wounding, pathogen infection, and herbivory releases a variety
of host-derived metabolites, degraded structural components, and peptides into the …

Small signalling peptides play important roles in various plant processes, but information
regarding their involvement in plant immunity is limited. We previously identified a novel …

Phytocytokines are plant peptide signals perceived by plasma membrane-localized
receptors in regulating plant immunity. It was recently reported that the phytocytokine …
