A staggering diversity of endophytic fungi associate with healthy plants in nature, but it is
usually unclear whether these represent stochastic encounters or provide host fitness benefits. …

Rhizobia are a paraphyletic group of soil-borne bacteria that induce nodule organogenesis
in legume roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen for plant growth. In non-leguminous plants, …

Specialized (secondary) metabolic pathways in plants have long been considered one-way
routes of leading primary metabolite precursors to bioactive end products. Conversely, …

In nature, roots of healthy plants are colonized by multikingdom microbial communities that
include bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. A key question is how plants control the assembly of …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is composed of tubules, sheets, and three-way junctions,
resulting in a highly conserved polygonal network in all eukaryotes. The molecular …

Spatiotemporal coordination of protein trafficking among organelles is essential for eukaryotic
cells. The post-Golgi interface, including the trans-Golgi network (TGN), is a pivotal hub for …

Glutathione (GSH) and indole glucosinolates (IGs) exert key functions in the immune system
of the model plant Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Appropriate GSH levels are important …

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) bodies are ER‐derived structures that contain a large amount
of PYK10 myrosinase, which hydrolyzes tryptophan (Trp)‐derived indole glucosinolates (IGs). …

HeLo domain-containing mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), a pseudokinase,
mediates necroptotic cell death in animals. Here, we report the discovery of a conserved …

DNA-amplicon-based microbiota profiling can estimate species diversity and abundance but
cannot resolve genetic differences within individuals of the same species. Here we report …
