Identification of INOSITOL PHOSPHORYLCERAMIDE SYNTHASE 2 (IPCS2) as a new rate‐limiting component in Arabidopsis pathogen entry control

Polarized transport of executive defense gene products to sites of attempted microbial invasion is important for plant pathogen entry control and disease resistance. Here, we provide evidence that IN....

A single pathogen-secreted protein reprograms plants for drought resilience

Climate change-enforced drought stress conditions and diseases caused by pathogens often co-occur and represent one of the greatest challenges in plant science. Wilt pathogens that colonize water-cond...
