Huanglongbing (HLB, aka citrus greening), one of the most devastating diseases of citrus,
has wreaked havoc on the global citrus industry in recent decades. The culprit behind such …

Huanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating disease of citrus, caused by the phloem-colonizing
bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). Here, we present evidence that HLB is …

Adapted plant pathogens from various microbial kingdoms produce hundreds of unrelated
small secreted proteins (SSPs) with elusive roles. Here, we used AlphaFold-Multimer (AFM) …

Salivary elicitors secreted by herbivorous insects can be perceived by host plants to trigger
plant immunity. However, how insects secrete other salivary components to subsequently …

Pathogen infection is a dynamic process. Here, we employ single-cell transcriptomics to
investigate plant response heterogeneity. By generating an Arabidopsis thaliana leaf atlas …

Citrus is one of the top three fruit crops worldwide. Citrus production is facing an
unprecedented crisis due to Huanglongbing (HLB, also known as citrus greening), which is …

Vector-borne plant diseases have significant ecological and economic impacts, affecting
farm profitability and forest composition throughout the world. Bacterial vector-borne …

Plants produce a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after pathogen infection to
successfully activate immune responses. During pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), ROS are …
