The Wnt signaling pathway plays important roles in embryonic development, homeostatic
processes, cell differentiation, cell polarity, cell proliferation, and cell migration via the β …

Rice blast disease, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, threatens global food security. The rice
blast pathosystem is a longstanding model system for understanding plant-microbe …

The exocyst, an evolutionarily conserved octameric protein complex involved in exocytosis,
has been reported to be involved in diverse aspects of morphogenesis in Arabidopsis …

Since its discovery in the late 1970s, the ubiquitin proteasome pathway appears to be
omnipresent in many research fields. Although originally discovered in animals, the pathway …

Rice blast and bacterial blight, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae and the bacterium
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), respectively, are devastating diseases affecting rice …

Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis is an integral part of diverse cellular functions, and of the
three enzymes involved in linking ubiquitin to protein targets, the E3 ubiquitin ligases are of …

Plant U-box type E3 ubiquitin ligases (PUBs) are well known for their functions in a variety of
stress responses, including immune responses and the adaptation to abiotic stresses. First …

Plants have evolved complicated protective mechanisms to survive adverse conditions.
Previously, we reported that the transcription factor OsbZIP46 regulates abscisic acid (ABA) …

Background Ubiquitination is essential for many cellular processes in eukaryotes, including
26S proteasome-dependent protein degradation, cell cycle progression, transcriptional …

Pathogen effector proteins are delivered to host cells to suppress plant immunity. However,
the mechanisms by which effector proteins function are largely unknown. Here we show that …
