Willingness of Japanese people in their 20s, 30s and 40s to pay for genetically modified foods

This study compares willingness-to-pay for GM foods among Japanese adults aged 20-40, finding lower WTP for animal-derived GM products compared to plant and ornamental GM items.

Sugar co-ordinates plant defence signalling

This study shows that sugar, particularly glucose-6-phosphate, regulates defense responses in Arabidopsis by modulating CPK5 activity and SA synthesis in response to bacterial and fungal pathogens.

Commensal lifestyle regulated by a negative feedback loop between Arabidopsis ROS and the bacterial T2SS

The paper shows that Arabidopsis ROS inhibits the T2SS of commensal bacteria, preventing their harmful effects and promoting plant health.

Image-based quantification of Arabidopsis thaliana stomatal aperture from leaf images

This paper presents an automated image analysis pipeline for quantifying stomatal aperture in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves using brightfield microscopy images.

Overexpression of NDR1 Leads to Pathogen Resistance at Elevated Temperatures

The paper shows NDR1 overexpression enhances pathogen resistance at elevated temperatures by maintaining immune signaling during ETI.

Chitin-induced systemic disease resistance in rice requires both OsCERK1 and OsCEBiP and is mediated via perturbation of cell-wall biogenesis in leaves

This study shows chitin induces systemic disease resistance in rice requiring OsCERK1 and OsCEBiP, mediated by cell-wall biogenesis perturbation.

The rice OsERF101 transcription factor regulates the NLR Xa1-mediated perception of TAL effectors and Xa1-mediated immunity

This study identifies OsERF101 as a regulator of Xa1-mediated immunity in rice by interacting with TAL effectors and modulating immune responses.

Conservation and diversity in transcriptional responses among host plants forming distinct arbuscular mycorrhizal morphotypes

The paper investigates transcriptional responses to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis and gibberellin (GA) treatment in three host plants with distinct AM morphotypes, finding conserved and divergent gene expression patterns.

A versatile Tn7 transposon-based bioluminescence tagging tool for quantitative and spatial detection of bacteria in plants

This paper develops a Tn7 transposon-based bioluminescence tool for quantitative and spatial detection of bacteria in plants, validated across multiple species and immune responses.
