Affinity tags are highly efficient tools for protein purification. They allow the purification of
virtually any protein without any prior knowledge of its biochemical properties. The use of …

In recent years, the use of plants as bioreactors has emerged as an exciting area of research
and significant advances have created new opportunities. The driving forces behind the …

INTRODUCTION Discrimination of self from nonself is pivotal for cellular organisms, as it
allows the perception of pathogenic invaders that might otherwise multiply unchecked and …

Plants utilise intracellular nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors to
detect pathogen effectors and activate local and systemic defence. NRG1 and ADR1 …

In animals and plants, pathogen recognition triggers the local activation of intracellular
signaling that is prerequisite for mounting systemic defenses in the whole organism. We …

Plant defenses induced by salicylic acid (SA) are vital for resistance against biotrophic
pathogens. In basal and receptor‐triggered immunity, SA accumulation is promoted by …

Plant nucleotide binding/leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors are activated by
pathogen effectors to trigger host defenses and cell death. Toll-interleukin 1 receptor domain …

Drought is a major threat to plant growth and crop productivity. Calcium-dependent protein
kinases (CDPKs, CPKs) are believed to play important roles in plant responses to drought …

Dynamic networks of protein–protein interactions regulate numerous cellular processes and
determine the ability to respond appropriately to environmental stimuli. However, the …

In plants, host response to pathogenic microbes is driven both by microbial perception and
detection of modified-self. The Xanthomonas campestris effector protein AvrAC/XopAC …
