Capping protein integrates multiple MAMP signalling pathways to modulate actin dynamics during plant innate immunity

Plants and animals perceive diverse microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) via pattern recognition receptors and activate innate immune signalling. The actin cytoskeleton has been suggested as a target for innate immune signalling and a key transducer of cellular responses. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying actin remodelling and the precise functions of these rearrangements du...

Nuclear components and dynamics during plant innate immunity

In plants, efficient immune responses against microbial infection depend on the ability to rapidly couple pathogen recognition to downstream signaling responses. In this context, plant immunity requires highly dynamic responses that involve multiple organelles during the recognition and signaling events associated with defense. Nuclear dynamics play a critical role in plant immunity based on th...

Bacterial Effectors Target BAK1 to Disrupt MAMP Receptor-Signaling Complexes and Impede Plant Innate Immunity

Brassinosteroids modulate plant immunity at multiple levels.

U pon detection of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), plants usually shift cellular activities from normal growth to defense responses called microbeor pathogen-induced immunity (MTI or PTI) (1, 2). Effective regulation of the tradeoffs between growth and immunity according to physiological and pathological conditions is critical for plant fitness in nature. The leucine-rich repeat ...
