MdLYK7 enhances resistance to Valsa canker by activating salicylic acid signaling and PbeBGLU12-mediated fungal cell wall stress.

Pto evolved from malectin-like RLKs phosphorylates AvrPtoB to promote Prf-mediated immunity in Solanum pimpinellifolium

It is demonstrated that Pto, the first disease-resistance gene conferring recognition of a specific pathogen, phosphorylates Pst type III effector AvrPtoB at serine 335 site, which triggers the dissociation of the Prf immune complex, enhancing immune signaling and reducing bacterial pathogenicity.

Field-derived insights into rice bakanae management: A novel transcription factor RARF1 regulates resistance to respiration-inhibiting fungicides in Fusarium fujikuroi.

Transcription factor MdLBD41 negatively regulates resistance to Glomerella leaf spot in apple by suppressing ROS production

A previously uncharacterized regulatory mechanism governing MdRBOHD1/2 expression and ROS generation during C. fructicola infection is identified and represents a finely tuned regulatory strategy that balances effective disease resistance with protection against cellular damage in apple plants.

MeSRT1 Interacts with MeNF-YC15 and Negatively Mediates Resistance to Cassava Bacterial Blight via Regulation of Gibberellin Metabolism in Manihot esculenta Crantz

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has significant economic value as a vital source of food, feed, and bio-energy. However, the production of cassava is severely restricted by cassava bacterial blight (CBB). Sirtuins (SRTs) are conserved histone deacetylases that play essential roles in the plant energy metabolism and...

A YopJ-family effector from Ralstonia solanacearum is associated with auxin-responsive transcriptional reprogramming and bacterial wilt suppression.

The 3R-MYB transcription factor VvMYB3R5 regulates Colletotrichum viniferum resistance through affecting proanthocyanidin synthesis in grapevine.

The discovery of this VvMYB3R5-VvLARs module provides new insights into how plants coordinate metabolic defense through transcriptional reprogramming and offers a distinct genetic resource beyond conventional MYB targets for molecular breeding of disease-resistant grapes and potentially other crops.
