Salicylic acid (SA) is a phytohormone central to plant immune responses, orchestrating both local defense and systemic acquired resistance (SAR), a br…

Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum) pathogen induces wheat phyllosphere alkalinization, promoting the development of Fusarium head blight (FHB). Xu et al. show that host-acidifying Pseudomonas, sele...

As a dicotyledonous angiosperm, Tartary buckwheat seed hull processes a unique lignin chemotype primarily consist of G lignin, commonly found in gymnosperms. The population-level correlation analysis....

Tartary buckwheat holds significant nutritional and health value; however, its hard seed hull limits production and economic potential. This study ide…

Salicylic acid (SA) is a key phytohormone that orchestrates immune responses against pathogens, including Pseudomonas syringae bacteria. The timing and extent of SA accumulation are tightly controlled...

In soybeans, the GmNFR5a-GmCERK1-GmCAK1 module regulates immune responses triggered by chitin oligosaccharides and chitosan oligosaccharides from fungal pathogens. This reveals a shared upstream sign...

Abstract. The increasing demand for sustainable agricultural practices has driven a renewed interest in plant–microbiome interactions as a basis for the ne

Plant roots release exudates to encourage microbiome assembly, which influences the function and stress resilience of plants. How specific exudates drive spatial colonization patterns remains largely ...

Plant roots interact with pathogenic and beneficial microbes in the soil. While root defense barriers block pathogens, their roles in facilitating beneficial plant–microbe associations are understud...

Abstract. The plant microbiome can promote plant health and productivity through a multitude of mechanisms. Our understanding of plant–microbiome interacti

Salicylic acid (SA) is a major defense phytohormone. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the isochorismate (IC) pathway is the primary route for pathogen-indu...

Plant receptor-like kinases (RLKs), one of the largest gene families in plants, integrate intrinsic and extrinsic signals to regulate immunity, mutualism, and interactions with microbiota. Here we dis...

Tight regulation of immune activation is crucial for plant health. How plants control the actions of their immunostimulatory phytocytokines is largely…

Short Summary: This review examines how oligosaccharide elicitors from pathogens and plants activate immune responses through membrane receptors, detailing their types, functions, and signaling pathwa...

The salicylic acid (SA) biosynthesis pathway—involving ligation of benzoyl coenzyme A and benzyl alcohol to give benzyl benzoate; hydroxylation of benzyl benzoate to give benzyl salicylate; and cleava...

Salicylic acid (SA) is a major defense phytohormone. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the isochorismate (IC) pathway is the primary route for pathogen-indu...

Pseudocydonia sinensis, commonly known as Chinese quince, belongs to the Rosaceae family and is closely related to apple and pear. Despite its botanical significance, genomic resources for this speci....

Endophytic fungi colonize healthy plant tissues without disease. Ujimatsu et al. reveal that the fungal transcription factor CtBOT6 triggers the virulence of a root-associated beneficial endophyte by ...

The Arabidopsis blue-light receptor CRY1 and its downstream HY5 protein optimize daytime stomatal conductance through spatiotemporal control of flavonols a
