Active DNA demethylation has emerged as an important regulatory process of plant and
mammalian immunity. However, very little is known about the mechanisms by which active …

Besides improved mineral nutrition, plants colonised by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi
often display increased biomass and higher tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses …

Nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins of the plant innate immune
system are negatively regulated by the miR482/2118 family miRNAs that are in a distinct 22 …

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins play critical roles in plant immunity.
However, how NLRs are regulated and activate defense signaling is not fully understood …

Detection of plant and animal pathogens triggers a massive transcriptional reprogramming,
which is directed by chromatin-based processes, and ultimately results in antimicrobial …

Plants require a complex immune system to defend themselves against a wide range of
pathogens which threaten their growth and development. The nucleotide-binding leucine …
