Genetic engineering of plants has enhanced crop productivity in the face of climate change
and a growing global population by conferring desirable genetic traits to agricultural crops …

Plant genetic transformation heavily relies on the bacterial pathogen Agrobacterium
tumefaciens as a powerful tool to deliver genes of interest into a host plant. Inside the plant …

The leaf vasculature plays a key role in solute translocation. Veins consist of at least seven
distinct cell types, with specific roles in transport, metabolism, and signaling. Little is known …

Cyclic adenosine diphosphate (ADP)–ribose (cADPR) isomers are signaling molecules
produced by bacterial and plant Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains via nicotinamide …

Translational reprogramming allows organisms to adapt to changing conditions. Upstream
start codons (uAUGs), which are prevalently present in mRNAs, have crucial roles in …

Sensing and signaling of cell wall status and dynamics regulate many processes in plants,
such as cell growth and morphogenesis, but the underpinning mechanisms remain largely …

Proteolytic activation of cytokines regulates immunity in diverse organisms. In animals,
cysteine-dependent aspartate-specific proteases (caspases) play central roles in cytokine …

Chloroplasts are crucial players in the activation of defensive hormonal responses during
plant-pathogen interactions. Here, we show that a plant virus-encoded protein re-localizes …

The recent development of adenine base editors (ABEs) has enabled efficient and precise A-
to-G base conversions in higher eukaryotic cells. Here, we show that plant-compatible ABE …

Plant response to pathogen infection varies within a leaf, yet this heterogeneity is not well
resolved. We expose Arabidopsis to Pseudomonas syringae or mock treatment and profile> …
