Plants rely on innate immune systems to defend against a wide variety of biotic attackers.
Key components of innate immunity include cell-surface pattern-recognition receptors …

Background Plants are known to be infected by a wide range of pathogenic microbes. To
study plant diseases caused by microbes, it is imperative to be able to monitor disease …

Whole-cell bacteria-based luminescent probes are crucial for monitoring bacterial
interactions with biotic surfaces. The primary approach to developing these probes involves …

Bioluminescence enables the monitoring of spatiotemporal dynamics and activity of
bacterial populations in planta. We here describe a procedure to use AgroLux, a …

To sustainably feed a growing global population, yield can be increased by reducing crop
