To counter pathogen invasion, plants have evolved a large number of immune receptors,
including membrane-resident pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and intracellular …

Exocytosis is a key mechanism for delivering materials into the extracellular space for cell
function and communication. In plant cells, conventional protein secretion (CPS) is achieved …

Plants remodel their cells through the dynamic endomembrane system. Intracellular pH is
important for membrane trafficking, but the determinants of pH homeostasis are poorly …

Mycorrhizal plants display enhanced resistance to several pathogens. However, the
molecular mechanisms regulating mycorrhiza-induced resistance (MIR) are still elusive. We …

Beyond its role in cellular homeostasis, autophagy plays anti‐and promicrobial roles in host–
microbe interactions, both in animals and plants. One prominent role of antimicrobial …

In eukaryotes, clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) facilitate the internalization of material from
the cell surface as well as the movement of cargo in post-Golgi trafficking pathways. This …

The plasma membrane (PM)‐localized receptor kinase FLAGELLIN SENSING 2 (FLS2)
recognizes bacterial flagellin or its immunogenic epitope flg22, and initiates microbe …

The nucleocytoplasmic exchange is of fundamental importance to eukaryotic life and is
mediated by karyopherins, a superfamily of nuclear transport receptors. However, the …

In plants, defense-associated signal transduction involves key membrane-related
processes, such as phospholipid-based signaling and membrane trafficking. Coordination of …

Phytoalexin sakuranetin functions in resistance against rice blast. However, the mechanisms
underlying the effects of sakuranetin remains elusive. Here, we report that rice lines …
