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 …

Beneficial interactions between plant roots and rhizosphere microorganisms are pivotal for
plant fitness. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms controlling the feedback between root …

Plants employ two modes of their innate immune system to resist pathogen infection. The
first mode of immunity is referred to as pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) that is triggered by …

Two modes of plant immunity against biotrophic pathogens, Effector Triggered Immunity (ETI)
and Pattern-Triggered Immunity (PTI), are triggered by recognition of pathogen effectors …

Recognition of microbial patterns by host pattern recognition receptors is a key step in immune
activation in multicellular eukaryotes. Peptidoglycans (PGNs) are major components of …

Plants respond to pathogen infection using an innate immune system with at least two
distinct recognition mechanisms. One mechanism recognizes microbe‐associated molecular …

Next to numerous abiotic stresses, plants are constantly exposed to a variety of pathogens
within their environment. Thus, their ability to survive and prosper during the course of …

Plant immunity is controlled by a complex signaling network. Here, we discuss how the
complexity of the network affects our views and approaches in studying the plant immune network…

Network robustness is a crucial property of the plant immune signaling network because
pathogens are under a strong selection pressure to perturb plant network components to …

Studies with model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana have revealed that phytohormones
are central regulators of plant defense. The intricate network of phytohormone signaling …
