Transposon inactivation of Arabidopsis MAP kinase 4 produced the mpk4 mutant exhibiting
constitutive systemic acquired resistance (SAR) including elevated salicylic acid (SA) levels, …

In plant innate immunity, individual cells have the capacity to sense and respond to pathogen
attack. Intracellular recognition mechanisms have evolved to intercept perturbations by …

The Arabidopsis genes EDS1 and NDR1 were shown previously by mutational analysis to
encode essential components of race-specific disease resistance. Here, we examined the …

The current trajectory for crop yields is insufficient to nourish the world’s population by 2050
1 . Greater and more consistent crop production must be achieved against a backdrop of …

Plants deploy cell-surface and intracellular leucine rich-repeat domain (LRR) immune receptors
to detect pathogens 1 . LRR receptor kinases and LRR receptor proteins at the plasma …

… , J Parker, unpublished). Still, the idea that they could process an oxygenated lipid that is
produced enzymatically or non-enzymatically upon pathogen infection is rather persuasive [40]. …

A major class of plant disease resistance (R) genes encodes leucine-rich-repeat proteins
that possess a nucleotide binding site and amino-terminal similarity to the cytoplasmic …

Plants are under constant threat of infection by pathogens armed with a diverse array of
effector molecules to colonize their host. Plants have, in turn, evolved sophisticated detection …

The Arabidopsis EDS1 and PAD4 genes encode lipase‐like proteins that function in resistance
(R) gene‐mediated and basal plant disease resistance. Phenotypic analysis of eds1 and …

Activation of local and systemic plant defences in response to pathogen attack involves
dramatic cellular reprogramming. Over the past 10 years many novel genes, proteins and …
