The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a widespread nanoweapon deployed by bacteria, but why is its deployment heterogeneous in many species? This study of T6SS in Escherichia coli shows that adopting...

Pseudomonas putida biofilm growth is associated to nutrient-sufficient conditions and biofilm dispersal is induced by nutrient starvation, signaled by…

image image The soil‐borne bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum secretes an effector protein, RipAC, which suppresses plant immunity. Here, RipAC is shown to hijack the dynamic regulation of plant pattern‐triggered immunity by ...

Plant pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) perceive microbial and endogenous molecular patterns to activate immune signaling. The cytoplasmic kinase B…

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...

miR825-5p down-regulates immunity against Pseudomonas syringae and mediates cleavage of the sequence encoding the conserved motif within the MIST1 Toll/int

MicroRNAs are essential regulators in plant resistance to biotic stresses, but their specific roles in the plant–herbivore context require deeper investigation. Here, we studied how the Arabidopsis .....
