Pseudomonas syringae is one of the most common plant pathogens that infect the
phyllosphere. P. syringae can live on the plant surface as an epiphyte. To cause disease, it …

The phytohormones salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) are major players in plant
immunity. Numerous studies have provided evidence that SA-and JA-mediated signaling …

Across plants and animals, host-associated microbial communities play fundamental roles in
host nutrition, development, and immunity. The factors that shape host–microbiome …

Bidirectional root–shoot signalling is probably key in orchestrating stress responses and
ensuring plant survival. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana responses to microbial root …

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) …

Phytopathogens like Pseudomonas syringae induce" water soaking" in the apoplastic space
of plant leaf tissue as a key virulence mechanism. Water soaking is commonly observed in …

This article is part of the Top 10 Unanswered Questions in MPMI invited review series.
Plants recognize the presence or invasion of microbes through cell surface-localized pattern …

In nature, plants must respond to multiple stresses simultaneously, which likely demands
cross-talk between stress-response pathways to minimize fitness costs. Here we provide …

Plant immune receptors perceive microbial molecules and initiate an array of biochemical
responses that are effective against most invaders. The role of the plant immune system in …

Pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI) are required for host
defense against pathogens. Although PTI and ETI are intimately connected, the underlying …
