Secreted small cysteine‐rich proteins (SCPs) play a critical role in modulating host immunity
in plant–pathogen interactions. Bioinformatic analyses showed that the fungal pathogen …

In nature, plants are frequently exposed to drought and bacterial pathogens simultaneously.
However, information on how the drought and defence pathways interact and orchestrate …

Nuclear effector proteins released by bacteria, oomycete, nematode, and fungi burden the
global environment and crop yield. Microbial effectors are key weapons in the evolutionary …

Transcriptional reprogramming is an integral part of plant immunity. Tight regulation of the
immune transcriptome is essential for a proper response of plants to different types of …

Plants perceive pathogens and induce robust transcriptional reprogramming to rapidly
achieve immunity. The mechanisms of how immune‐related genes are transcriptionally …

Plants use a dual defense system to cope with microbial pathogens. The first involves
pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered immunity which is conferred by membrane …

Plants and microbes (mycorrhizal fungi to be precise) have evolved together over the past
millions of years into an association that is mutualist. The plants supply the fungi with …

Abstract Arabidopsis SYSTEMIC ACQUIRED RESISTANCE DEFICIENT 1 (SARD1) and
CALMODULIN-BINDING PROTEIN 60g (CBP60g) are two master transcription factors that …

The soil-borne pathogen Verticillium dahliae, also referred as “The Cotton Cancer,” is
responsible for causing Verticillium wilt in cotton crops, a destructive disease with a global …

Background The extracellular space between the cell wall and plasma membrane is a
battlefield in plant-pathogen interactions. Within this space, the pathogen employs its …
