Pseudomonas syringae is an evolutionarily diverse bacterial species complex and a
preeminent model for the study of plant–pathogen interactions due in part to its remarkably …

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) form tightly controlled signaling cascades that
play essential roles in plant growth, development, and defense response. However, the …

Efficient plant immune responses depend on the ability to recognise an invading microbe.
The 22-amino acids in the N-terminal domain and the 28-amino acids in the central region of …

The plant immune system is constituted of two functionally interdependent branches that
provide the plant with an effective defense against microbial pathogens. They can be …

The K homology (KH) repeat is an RNA‐binding motif that exists in various proteins, some of
which participate in plant growth. However, the function of KH domain‐containing proteins in …

Apple Valsa canker, caused by the ascomycete fungus Valsa mali, employs virulence
effectors to disturb host immunity and poses a substantial threat to the apple industry …

Verticillium dahliae is a soilborne plant fungal pathogen that causes Verticillium wilt, a
disease that reduces the yields of many economically important crops. Despite its worldwide …

A key facet of innate immunity in plants entails the recognition of pathogen “effector”
virulence proteins by host Nucleotide-Binding Leucine-Rich Repeat Receptors (NLRs) …

Cells harbour numerous receptor pathways to respond to diverse stimuli, yet often share
common downstream signalling components. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MPK) …

Effectors are small, secreted molecules that alter host cell structure and function, thereby
facilitating infection or triggering a defense response. Effectoromics studies have focused on …
