The plant immune system perceives pathogens to trigger defense responses. In turn,
pathogens secrete effector molecules to subvert these defense responses. The initiation and …

Ubiquitination is one of the most abundant types of protein post‐translational modification
(PTM) in plant cells. The importance of ubiquitination in the regulation of many aspects of …

Plants use photoperiodism to activate flowering in response to a particular daylength. In rice,
flowering is accelerated in short-day conditions, and even a brief exposure to light during the …

Potassium (K+) is required by plants for growth and development, and also contributes to
immunity against pathogens. However, it has not been established whether pathogens …

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins play critical roles in plant immunity.
However, how NLRs are regulated and activate defense signaling is not fully understood …

The circadian clock plays multiple roles in plant stress responses and developmental
transition phases. Nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms and individual clock …

Pathogen–host interaction is a complicated process; pathogens mainly infect host plants to
acquire nutrients, especially sugars. Rhizoctonia solani, the causative agent of sheath blight …

Deployment of broad-spectrum disease resistance against multiple pathogen species is an
efficient way to control plant diseases. Here, we identify a M icrotubule-associated C4HC3 …

A large number of pathogenic microorganisms cause rice diseases that lead to enormous
yield losses worldwide. Such losses are important because rice is a staple food for more …

Increase in ambient temperatures caused by climate change affects various morphological
and developmental traits of plants, threatening crop yield stability. In the model plant …
