Plants deploy a sophisticated immune system to cope with different microbial pathogens and
other invaders. Recent research provides an increasing body of evidence for papain‐like …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a genetically controlled process that leads to cell suicide in
both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. In plants PCD occurs during development …

Effector proteins secreted by plant pathogenic fungi are important artilleries against host
immunity, but there is no precedent of such effectors being explored as antifungal targets …

Plant damage promotes the interaction of lipoxygenases (LOXs) with fatty acids yielding 9-
hydroperoxides, 13-hydroperoxides, and complex arrays of oxylipins. The action of 13-LOX …

Clubroot, caused by the soil-borne protist pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the
most devastating diseases of Brassica oil and vegetable crops worldwide. Understanding …

Abstract Really Interesting New Gene (RING) E3 ubiquitin ligases have been implicated in
cellular responses to the stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA) as well as to environmental …

The oxaloacetate acetylhydrolase (OAH, EC 3.7. 1.1)‐encoding gene S s‐oah1 was cloned
and functionally characterized from S clerotinia sclerotiorum. S s‐oah1 transcript …

This review aims to highlight the proteases required for regulated cell death mechanisms in
animals and plants. The aim is to be incisive, and not inclusive of all the animal proteases …

Plant defense is achieved mainly through the induction of microbe-associated molecular
patterns (MAMP)-triggered immunity (MTI), effector-triggered immunity (ETI), systemic …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is essential for proper growth, development, and cellular
homeostasis in all eukaryotes. The regulation of PCD is of central importance in plant …
