Transcriptome analysis reveals role for WRKY70 in early N-hydroxy-pipecolic acid signaling

This study identifies WRKY70's role in NHP-induced transcriptional responses and shows SA dependency in early plant immunity.

A developmental gradient reveals biosynthetic pathways to eukaryotic toxins in monocot geophytes

The paper identifies biosynthetic pathways for eukaryotic toxins in daffodils by showing that toxin production is localized to growing tissues.

Multiplicity of Agrobacterium infection of Nicotiana benthamiana for transient DNA delivery

This study quantifies the multiplicity of Agrobacterium infection in Nicotiana benthamiana to optimize T-DNA delivery for combinatorial gene expression.

Alleviating cell lysate-induced inhibition to enable RT-PCR from single cells in picoliter-volume double emulsion droplets

This study addresses RT-PCR inhibition in picoliter double emulsion droplets by identifying lysate-induced probe cleavage as the main issue and showing heat lysis can alleviate it, enabling single-cell PCR in 20 pL droplets.

Arabidopsis UGT76B1 glycosylates N-hydroxy-pipecolic acid and inactivates systemic acquired resistance in tomato

This study shows that Arabidopsis UGT76B1 glycosylates NHP, reducing systemic acquired resistance in tomato by altering defense priming.

Conservation of N-hydroxy-pipecolic acid-mediated systemic acquired resistance in crop plants

The paper shows N-hydroxy-pipecolic acid (NHP) mediates systemic acquired resistance in tomato and pepper, suggesting engineering NHP production could enhance crop disease resistance.

A pathogen-responsive gene cluster for the production of highly modified fatty acids in tomato

The paper identifies a gene cluster in tomato required for producing falcarindiol, an antifungal lipid, in response to fungal pathogens.

N-hydroxy-pipecolic acid is a mobile signal that induces systemic disease resistance in Arabidopsis

This study identifies N-hydroxy-pipecolic acid as a mobile signal inducing systemic disease resistance in Arabidopsis by showing its role in SAR signal transduction and pathogen resistance.
