The plasma membrane (PM) is the biological membrane that separates the interior of all
cells from the outside. The PM is constituted of a huge diversity of proteins and lipids. In this …

Biological membranes play a crucial role in actively hosting, modulating and coordinating a
wide range of molecular events essential for cellular function. Membranes are organized …

Drought and heat are major abiotic stresses frequently coinciding to threaten rice
production. Despite hundreds of stress-related genes being identified, only a few have been …

Crop breeding for resistance to pathogens largely relies on genes encoding receptors that
confer race-specific immunity. Here, we report the identification of the wheat Pm4 race …

Spatial partitioning is a propensity of biological systems orchestrating cell activities in space
and time. The dynamic regulation of plasma membrane nano-environments has recently …

Rho guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) are master regulators of cell signaling, but how
they are regulated depending on the cellular context is unclear. We found that the …

Plasma membrane-associated and intracellular proteins and protein complexes play a
pivotal role in pathogen recognition and disease resistance signaling in plants and animals …

Anionic phospholipids, which include phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine, and
phosphoinositides, represent a small percentage of membrane lipids. They are able to …

Effector proteins secreted by plant pathogenic fungi are important artilleries against host
immunity, but there is no precedent of such effectors being explored as antifungal targets …

In eukaryotes, membrane contact sites (MCS) allow direct communication between
organelles. Plants have evolved a unique type of MCS, inside intercellular pores, the …
