Pathogenicity of most Gram-negative plant-pathogenic bacteria depends on the type III
secretion (T3S) system, which translocates bacterial effector proteins into plant cells. Type III …

The endomembrane system, extending from the nuclear envelope to the plasma membrane,
is critical to the plant response to pathogen infection. Synthesis and transport of immunity …

The eukaryotic cytoskeleton is essential for structural support and intracellular transport, and
is therefore a common target of animal pathogens. However, no phytopathogenic effector …

The bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae depends on effector proteins secreted by its
type III secretion system for the pathogenesis of plants. The majority of these effector …

Plant cells face many changes through their life cycle and develop several mechanisms to
cope with adversity. Stress caused by environmental factors is turning out to be more and …

The battle between phytopathogenic bacteria and their plant hosts has revealed a diverse
suite of strategies and mechanisms employed by the pathogen or the host to gain the higher …

The organization, assembly and remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton provide force and
tracks for a variety of (endo) membrane-associated events such as membrane trafficking …

The dynamic assembly and disassembly of microtubules (MTs) is essential for cell function.
Although leaf senescence is a well-documented process, the role of the MT cytoskeleton …

Plants are highly attuned to translating environmental changes to appropriate modifications
in growth. Such phenotypic plasticity is observed in dense vegetations, where shading by …

Plant cell wall polysaccharides are synthesised at the plasma membrane and in the Golgi
apparatus. Current research efforts mainly try to address how these molecules are …
