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

Plants deploy a diverse array of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which perceive microbe-associated molecular patterns to activate immune responses. Leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase subgr...

Elevated temperature impacts plant immunity at the primary infection site, but how it affects immune preparedness for future infections remains unclear. Here we report that warm temperature suppresse...

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...

Gene cloning in wheat has long been hampered by its exceptionally large and complex genome, and long life cycle. Here, the authors report an optimized, high-throughput disease resistance gene cloning ...
