The aboveground parts of terrestrial plants are colonized by a variety of microbes that
collectively constitute the phyllosphere microbiota. Decades of pioneering work using …

Plant architecture fundamentally differs from that of other multicellular organisms in that
individual cells serve as osmotic bricks, defined by the equilibrium between the internal …

Plant pathogens are one of the main factors hindering the breeding of cash crops.
Pathogens, including oomycetes, fungus, and bacteria, secrete effectors as invasion …

Plants have evolved a repertoire of monitoring systems to sense plant morphogenesis and
to face environmental changes and threats caused by different attackers. These systems …

Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and Receptor-like proteins (RLPs) play crucial roles in plant
immunity, growth, and development. Plants deploy a large number of RLKs and RLPs as …

Maintaining microbiome structure is critical for the health of both plants and animals. By re-
screening a collection of Arabidopsis mutants affecting root immunity and hormone …

Cell walls are highly dynamic structures that provide mechanical support for plant cells
during growth, development and adaptation to a changing environment. Thus, it is important …

In plants, perception of invading pathogens involves cell-surface immune receptor kinases.
Here, we report that the Arabidopsis SITE-1 PROTEASE (S1P) cleaves endogenous RAPID …

Plants solely rely on innate immunity of each individual cell to deal with a diversity of
microbes in the environment. Extracellular recognition of microbe‐and host damage …

The microbiome plays an important role in shaping plant growth and immunity, but few plant
genes and pathways impacting plant microbiome composition have been reported. In …
