A soybean rust effector protease suppresses host immunity and cleaves a 3-deoxy-7-phosphoheptulonate synthase

This study identifies PpEC15, a soybean rust effector protease, which suppresses host immunity by cleaving a 3-deoxy-7-phosphoheptulonate synthase and modulating immune signaling pathways.

Insights into Phakopsora pachyrhizi effector-effector interactions

This study investigates effector-effector interactions in Phakopsora pachyrhizi, identifying PpEC48's interactions with other effectors and small cysteine-rich proteins.

Cold-inducible promoter-driven knockdown of Brachypodium antifreeze proteins confers freeze sensitivity

This paper shows that using a cold-inducible promoter to knock down Brachypodium antifreeze proteins reduces freeze tolerance without developmental defects, confirming their role in freeze protection.

The Brachypodium distachyon cold-acclimated plasma membrane proteome is primed for stress resistance

This study identifies cold-acclimated plasma membrane proteins in Brachypodium distachyon, revealing stress response mechanisms and potential for improving frost resistance in monocots.

A novel allele in the Arabidopsis thaliana MACPF protein CAD1 results in deregulated immune signaling

This study identifies a novel CAD1 allele in Arabidopsis thaliana that causes deregulated immune signaling and autoimmunity symptoms.

Proteobacteria encode diverse flg22 peptides that elicit varying immune responses in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper investigates flg22 immunogenicity across Proteobacteria classes in Arabidopsis thaliana, finding significant variation in immune response strength.

Phosphorylation-dependent sub-functionalization of the calcium-dependent protein kinase CPK28

This study identifies a phosphorylation site in CPK28 that differentially regulates its function in immune homeostasis and stem elongation in Arabidopsis.
