Various conceptual models to describe the plant immune system have been presented. The
most recent paradigm to gain wide acceptance in the field is often referred to as the zigzag …

Being sessile, plants rely on intricate signaling pathways to mount an efficient defense
against external threats while maintaining the cost balance for growth. Transcription factors …

Soils harbour some of the most diverse microbiomes on Earth and are essential for both
nutrient cycling and carbon storage. To understand soil functioning, it is necessary to model …

Cell-surface receptors play pivotal roles in many biological processes, including immunity,
development, and reproduction, across diverse organisms. How cell-surface receptors …

Pathogen recognition by plants results in the activation of signaling pathways that induce
defense reactions. There is growing evidence indicating that epigenetic mechanisms directly …

We identified a glycoside hydrolase family 12 (GH12) protein, XEG1, produced by the
soybean pathogen Phytophthora sojae that exhibits xyloglucanase and β-glucanase activity …

Typically, pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are considered to be conserved
throughout classes of microbes and to contribute to general microbial fitness, whereas …

Disease control is largely based on the use of fungicides, bactericides, and insecticides—
chemical compounds toxic to plant invaders, causative agents, or vectors of plant diseases …

Plants and animals recognize microbial invaders by detecting pathogen-associated
molecular patterns (PAMPs),,,, such as flagellin,,,,. However, the importance of flagellin …

Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) belong to the large RLK/Pelle gene family, and it is known that
the Arabidopsis thaliana genome contains> 600 such members, which play important roles …
