The paper shows that UBP6 cleavage generates a proteoform that stabilizes NPR1 and enhances plant immunity through the N-degron pathway.

The paper introduces genetically encoded FRET sensors to detect protease activities in plants, demonstrating their use in monitoring metacaspase and Tobacco Etch Virus protease in vivo.

This paper identifies a β-sheet stabilization mechanism in the island domain of LRR-RPs that mediates ligand binding and co-receptor recruitment, revealing insights into plant immune signaling activation.

The paper identifies PP2C12 as a negative regulator of LRX1-RALF-FER signaling in Arabidopsis, modulating FER activity to fine-tune cell wall integrity sensing.

This study identifies Lr14a as a calcium-permeable channel in wheat that mediates cytoplasmic calcium influx, essential for stomatal immunity against leaf rust.

This study identifies 225 redox-active nuclear proteins in Arabidopsis, including GCN5, modified by sulfenylation under oxidative stress, revealing their functional impact on protein interactions.

The paper identifies SCOOP-MIK2 binding mechanisms using in silico analysis, AlphaFold-Multimer, and experimental validation, revealing conserved binding pockets and their functional importance.
