A diversity of plant-associated organisms secrete effectors—proteins and metabolites that
modulate plant physiology to favor host infection and colonization. However, effectors can also …

In plants, nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR)-containing proteins can
form receptor networks to confer hypersensitive cell death and innate immunity. One class of …

Plant–microbe interactions are great model systems to study co-evolutionary dynamics across
multiple timescales. However, mechanistic research on plant–microbe interactions has …

Reticulons are integral ER membrane proteins characterised by a reticulon homology
domain comprising four transmembrane domains which results in the proteins sitting in the …

The family of reticulon proteins has been shown to be involved in a variety of functions in
eukaryotic cells including tubulation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), formation of cell plates …

A fundamental concept in plant pathology is that most plants are actively resistant to most
pathogens and pests. Plants fend off biotic foes primarily through immune receptors that detect …

We don’t have an energy crisis. We have a consumption crisis. And this book, which takes
aim at cherished assumptions regarding energy, offers refreshingly straight talk about what’s …
