Rice blast fungus hijacks a rice RALF peptide to initiate infection

Plant-derived peptides regulate immunity and host–microbe interactions, but whether fungal pathogens exploit endogenous plant peptides for infection-site selection remains largely unknown. Rapid alkalinization factors (RALFs) are a family of plant peptide hormones that contribute to plant development, reproduction, str...

A wheat immune receptor pair executes cell death through a helper MLKL

To promote disease resistance, plant nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors often require paired co-receptors. In many cases, paired NLRs comprise one NLR to perceive effectors (the sensor) and another NLR to execute cell death (the helper). However, NLRs can also pair with sensor kinase fusion...
