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

Transcriptional reprogramming is critical for plant immunity. Several calmodulin (CaM)-
binding protein 60 (CBP60) family transcription factors (TFs) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis …

The plant immune system protects against pests and diseases. The recognition of stress‐
related molecular patterns triggers localised immune responses, which are often followed by …

Understanding recognition mechanisms of pathogenic microbes by plants is not only pivotal
to crop protection programs, but has also revealed fascinating examples of co-evolutionary …

The plant immune system features numerous immune receptors localized on the cell surface
to monitor the apoplastic space for danger signals from a broad range of plant colonizers …

Background Plants respond to diverse environmental cues including microbial perturbations
by coordinated regulation of thousands of genes. These intricate transcriptional regulatory …

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 …
