Mitochondria play diverse and essential roles in eukaryotic cells, and plants are no
exception. Plant mitochondria have several differences from their metazoan and fungal …

Cross-kingdom small RNA trafficking between hosts and microbes modulates gene
expression in the interacting partners during infection. However, whether other RNAs are …

Background Mitochondria are organelles within eukaryotic cells that are central to the
metabolic processes of cellular respiration and ATP production. However, the evolution of …

Mosaic symptoms are commonly observed in virus-infected plants. However, the underlying
mechanism by which viruses cause mosaic symptoms as well as the key regulator (s) …

Plasma membrane represents a critical battleground between plants and attacking
microbes. Necrosis and ethylene‐inducing peptide 1 (Nep1)‐like proteins (NLPs), cytolytic …

Viruses often establish their own infection by altering host metabolism. How viruses co-opt
plant metabolism to support their successful infection remains an open question. Here, we …

Rhizoctonia solani AG‐1 IA causes a necrotrophic rice disease and is a serious threat to rice
production. To date, only a few effectors have been characterized in AG‐1 IA. We previously …

Rice sheath blight (ShB) is a devastating disease that severely threatens rice production
worldwide. Induction of cell death represents a key step during infection by the ShB …

Light is the main source of energy for plant growth. Studies have shown that I. indigotica is a
light-demanding plant and its yield and various active components are positively correlated …

Bacillus pumilus strain TUAT1, a type of plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), is
used as an ingredient in biofertilizer. Although we confirmed that B. pumilus TUAT1 …
