Multicellular organisms, like higher plants, need to coordinate their growth and development
and to cope with environmental cues. To achieve this, various signal molecules are …

Both animals and plants express intracellular innate immunity receptors known as NLR (NOD-like
receptors or nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat receptors, respectively…

Simple Summary The continuous reduction of approved conventional microbicides, due to
health concerns and the development of plant-pathogen resistance, has been urged for the …

Plants are in a constant evolutionary arms race with their pathogens. At the molecular level,
the plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) family has coevolved with …

Halophytic endophytes potentially contribute to the host’s adaptation to adverse environments,
improving its tolerance against various biotic and abiotic stresses. Here, we identified the …

For most Gram-negative bacteria, pathogenicity largely depends on the type-III secretion
system that delivers virulence effectors into eukaryotic host cells. The subcellular targets for the …

The wide host range of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) indicates the existence of yet uncharacterized
virulence mechanisms that help pathogens to overcome host defences. Various …

Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is a phenolic substance primarily present in olive leaves and olive oil.
Numerous studies have shown its advantages for human health, making HT a potentially …

Plant immunity largely relies on intracellular nucleotide‐binding domain leucine‐rich repeat
(NLR) immune receptors. Some plant NLRs carry integrated domains (IDs) that mimic …

Both plants and animals carry NOD-like-receptors (NLRs). However, the formation of
inflammasome-like structures in plants has been an open question for many years. Two recent …
