Several studies have revealed that actin depolymerizing factors (ADFs) participate in plant
defence responses; however, the functional mechanisms appear intricate and need further …

Verticillum dahliae is a soil-borne phytopathogenic fungus causing destructive Verticillium
wilt disease. We previously found a trehalase-encoding gene (VdPT1) in V. dahliae being …

Components of the plant immune signaling network need mechanisms that confer resilience
against fast‐evolving pathogen effectors that target them. Among eight Arabidopsis CaM …

CBP60b (CALMODULIN-BINDING PROTEIN 60b) is a member of the CBP60 transcription
factor family. In Arabidopsis, At CBP60b not only regulates growth and development but also …

As a conserved epigenetic mark, DNA cytosine methylation, at the 5'position (5-mC), plays
important roles in multiple biological processes, including plant immunity. However, the …

The nuclear import of proteins is a fundamental process in the eukaryotes including plant. It
has become evident that such basic process is exploited by nuclear effectors that contain …

As a universal second messenger, cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) functions in multifaceted
intracellular processes, including growth, development and responses to biotic/abiotic …

Pathogens secrete effector proteins into host cells to suppress host immunity and promote
pathogen virulence, although many features at the molecular interface of host–pathogen …

Verticillium wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae is a notorious soil-borne fungal disease and
seriously threatens the yield of economic crops worldwide. During host infection, V. dahliae …

Verticillium dahliae is a kind of pathogenic fungus that brings about wilt disease and great
losses in cotton. The molecular mechanism of the effectors in V. dahliae regulating cotton …
