Modulation of key sterol-related genes of Nicotiana benthamiana by phosphite treatment during infection with Phytophthora cinnamomi Phytophthora cinnamomi is a globally destructive pathogen causing disease in over 5000 plant species. As sterol auxotrophs, Phytophthora species rely on host-derived phytosterols for reproduction, yet...

A trehalase-derived MAMP triggers LecRK-V-mediated immune responses in Arabidopsis Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) cause major agricultural losses worldwide, yet the molecular basis of plant immunity against these pathogens remains poorly understood. To investigate how plants recog...

New MAMP from nematodes (derived from a peptide of trehalase), is also found in insects and fungi. Plant immune responses require lectin receptor kinases - LecRK-Vs. Cool! I like the old-school protein biochem for MAMP ID. 🙂 #PlantPathogenInteractions #PlantScience
