Plant genomes possess hundreds of candidate surface localized receptors capable of
recognizing microbial components or modified-self molecules. Surface-localized pattern …

The plant immune system relies on germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)
that sense foreign and plant-derived molecular patterns, and signal health threats. Genomic …

Recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns on the cell surface is crucial for plant
immunity. The proteinaceous nature of many of these patterns suggests that secreted …

Plants and animals detect biomolecules termed microbe-associated molecular patterns
(MAMPs) and induce immunity. Agricultural production is severely impacted by pathogens …

Plants and microorganisms have been co-evolving and interacting for billions of years. Prior
researchers have explored the plant's immune system responses and interaction with …

Vector‐borne bacterial pathogens cause devastating plant diseases that cost billions of
dollars in crop losses worldwide. These pathogens have evolved to be host‐and vector …

Plants are in intimate association with taxonomically structured microbial communities called
the plant microbiota. There is growing evidence that the plant microbiota contributes to the …

Xanthomonas species are specialized plant pathogens, often exhibiting a narrow host
range. They rely on the translocation of effector proteins through the type III secretion system …

The surface-localized receptor kinase FLS2 detects the flg22 epitope from bacterial flagella.
FLS2 is conserved across land plants, but bacterial pathogens exhibit polymorphic flg22 …

Type 2C protein phosphatases (PP2Cs) constitute a large family in most plant species but
relatively few of them have been implicated in immunity. To identify and characterize PP2C …
