Author summary Most bacterial plant pathogens inject effector proteins inside host cells to suppress immune responses and manipulate other plant functions in order to cause disease. Even though these ...

Gram-negative bacterial pathogens inject effector proteins inside plant cells using specialized secretion systems. These effectors manipulate plant cellular functions and suppress the plant immune s...

Plants have developed a complex immune system to detect and respond to invading pathogens. A critical aspect of this defense relies on regulatory mechanisms that control the activation of immune res...

Ralstonia solanacearum evades plant immunity by producing an atypical flagellin protein, thus causing bacterial wilt disease. Here, Wei et al. show that soybean has evolved a divergent flagellin recep...

Insight into the molecular composition of cellular microenvironments is essential for understanding their function. Membraneless organelles (MLO), such as the nuclear Cajal body (CB), play fundamental...

Nature Microbiology - Single-cell gene expression analysis reveals phenotypic heterogeneity to enable bacterial specialization over the course of plant colonization.
