Background Plants in nature or crops in the field interact with a multitude of beneficial or
parasitic organisms, including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Viruses are highly specialized to …

Plant pathogens destroy crops and cause severe yield losses, leading to an insufficient food
supply to sustain the human population. Apart from relying on natural plant immune systems …

Summary BAK1‐INTERACTING RECEPTOR LIKE KINASE1 (BIR1) is a negative regulator
of various aspects of disease resistance and immune responses. Here, we investigated the …

Viruses, causal agents of devastating diseases in plants, are obligate intracellular
pathogens composed of a nucleic acid genome and a limited number of viral proteins. The …

With the discovery that pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) is active against virus infection in
plants less than a decade ago, we began to understand that antiviral immunity goes far …

In the plant immune system, according to the 'gene-for-gene'model, a resistance (R) gene
product in the plant specifically surveils a corresponding effector protein functioning as an …

Virus-induced plant diseases in cultivated plants cause important damages in yield.
Although the mechanisms of virus infection are intensely studied at the cell biology level …

Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are a large group of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and
play a critical role in recognizing pathogens, transducing defense signals, and mediating the …

Host plants deploy the small RNA (sRNA)-directed RNA silencing pathway to resist invasion
by acellular microorganisms (viruses/viroids/satellites), and, in turn, this pathway is exploited …

Key message Plant extracellular vesicles play a role in systemic acquired resistance by
facilitating the transmission of immune signals between plant cells. Abstract Extracellular …
