Understanding the plant immune system is crucial for using genetics to protect crops from
diseases. Plants resist pathogens via a two-tiered innate immune detection-and-response …

Plants rely on PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI) to detect
invading pathogens and subsequently activate defense mechanisms. Recently, four Nature …

We have developed a compendium and interactive platform, named Stress Combinations
and their Interactions in Plants Database (SCIPDb; http://www. nipgr. ac. in/scipdb. php) …

Plants recognize the presence or invasion of microbes through cell surface-localized pattern …

In plants, nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR)-containing proteins can
form receptor networks to confer hypersensitive cell death and innate immunity. One class of …

Plant–fungal interactions in the soil crucially impact crop productivity and can range from
highly beneficial to detrimental. Accumulating evidence suggests that some root-colonizing …

This article is part of the Top 10 Unanswered Questions in MPMI invited review series. That
plants recruit beneficial microbes while simultaneously restricting pathogens is critical to …

To suppress plant immunity and promote the intracellular infection required for fixing
nitrogen for the benefit of their legume hosts, many rhizobia use type III secretion systems …

Fungal pathogens can secrete hundreds of effectors, some of which are known to promote
host susceptibility. This biological complexity, together with the lack of genetic tools in some …

Biotrophic plant pathogenic fungi are widely distributed and are among the most damaging
pathogenic organisms of agriculturally important crops responsible for significant losses in …
