Understanding the plant immune system is crucial for using genetics to protect crops from
diseases. Plants resist pathogens via a two-tiered innate immune detection-and-response …

Plants have both cell-surface and intracellular receptors to recognize diverse self-and non-
self molecules. Cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize extracellular …

Stomata exert considerable effects on global carbon and water cycles by mediating gas
exchange and water vapour,. Stomatal closure prevents water loss in response to …

Danger signals trigger immune responses upon perception by a complex surveillance
system. Such signals can originate from the infectious nonself or the damaged self, the latter …

Cell-surface receptors play pivotal roles in many biological processes, including immunity,
development, and reproduction, across diverse organisms. How cell-surface receptors …

Sessile plants encode a large number of small peptides and cell surface-resident receptor
kinases, most of which have unknown functions. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis …

Enabling and constraining immune activation is of fundamental importance in maintaining
cellular homeostasis. Depleting BAK1 and SERK4, the co-receptors of multiple pattern …

Plant defense responses against insect herbivores are induced through wound-induced
signaling and the specific perception of herbivore-associated molecular patterns (HAMPs) …

Endogenous signalling peptides play diverse roles during plant growth, development and
stress responses. Research in recent years has unravelled peptides with previously known …

Plant signalling peptides are typically released from larger precursors by proteolytic
cleavage to regulate plant growth, development and stress responses. Recent studies …
