Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential plant defense hormone that promotes immunity against
biotrophic and semibiotrophic pathogens. It plays crucial roles in basal defense and the …

Nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1 (NPR1) was discovered in Arabidopsis as
an activator of salicylic acid (SA)-mediated immune responses nearly 30 years ago. How …

Plants have both cell-surface and intracellular receptors to recognize diverse self-and non-
self molecules. Cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize extracellular …

As the most widely used herbal medicine in human history and a major defence hormone in
plants against a broad spectrum of pathogens and abiotic stresses, salicylic acid (SA) has …

NPR1 is a master regulator of the defence transcriptome induced by the plant immune signal
salicylic acid,,–. Despite the important role of NPR1 in plant immunity,–, understanding of its …

Intrinsically disordered proteins and protein regions (IDRs) are abundant in eukaryotic
proteomes and play a wide variety of essential roles. Instead of folding into a stable …

Phytochrome B (phyB) is a plant photoreceptor that forms a membraneless organelle called
a photobody. However, its constituents are not fully known. Here, we isolated phyB …

Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors with an N-terminal
Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain mediate recognition of strain-specific pathogen …

Plants use seasonal temperature cues to time the transition to reproduction. In Arabidopsis
thaliana, winter cold epigenetically silences the floral repressor locus FLOWERING LOCUS …

Osmotic stress imposed by drought and high salinity inhibits plant growth and crop yield.
However, our current knowledge on the mechanism by which plants sense osmotic stress is …
