The OsAGO2-miR11337-5p-OsLRR Module Confers Rice Resistance to Rhizoctonia solani by Modulating Vitamin B6 Biosynthesis.

Argonaute (AGO) proteins play a pivotal role in small RNA (sRNA)-mediated RNA silencing and plant immunity. However, their roles in rice defense against sheath blight remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that the osago2 mutant exhibited enhanced resistance to Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani). Small RNA sequenc...

Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus C4 Suppresses Antiviral Immunity by Targeting the 14‐3‐3 Protein SlTFT2

It is established that the C4–SlTFT2 interaction is indispensable for TYLCV‐mediated immunosuppression, and C4 promotes successful TYLCV infection by reducing the nuclear accumulation of SlTFT2 through this interaction, revealing a novel mechanism by which the virus subverts host defence by targeting a 14‐3‐3 protein.

A conserved COBL3-like protein promotes PDLP5-dependent callose accumulation to confer broad-spectrum plasmodesmata-mediated antiviral defense.

This study reveals a previously unknown role of COBRA-like proteins in PMAD and provides insight into how a plant viral MP sabotages PMAD through perturbing COBL3-PDLP5 interaction to facilitate virus spread through PD.

A transcription factor TOE3 simultaneously promotes growth and antiviral immunity by disrupting ABA core module in tobacco

It is found that the amino-terminal domain of TOE3 (T3N) inhibits abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, which reveals how TOE3 uncoupling to provide strategies for breeding crops with strong growth and antiviral immunity.

PlantLRR-PRR: A Reproducible Annotation Pipeline Reveals Contrasting Evolution of Developmental and Defense Receptor-Like Proteins in Tomato

Plants perceive external and internal signals via receptors to modulate their growth, development, and defenses. Leucine-rich-repeat receptor-like-kinase (RLKs) and receptor-like-proteins (RLPs) are two major cell-surface receptors in plants. RLPs are a unique gene family (well-studied and characterized) and play an im...
