GENETIC REQUIREMENTS OF DANGEROUS MIX AUTOIMMUNITY IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA
Autoimmunity is often found in hybrid plants due to uncontrolled immune responses without obvious pathogenic attacks. Due to the characteristic strong phenotype of hybrid necrosis, it has been successful in identifying DANGEROUS MIX (DM) genes in Arabidopsis thaliana, consisting of two incompatible …

Investigation of the molecular basis of PAMP-induced resistance
… receptors (PRRs) constitutes the first layer of plant innate immunity. Although details of early immune signaling events are starting to be unveiled, the molecular mechanisms leading to restriction of pathogen growth are still poorly understood. To gain more insight into this process, two …

Evolution and Function of Receptor-like Kinases in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis
Evolution of the nutritional mutualism between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi was crucial to evolution of life, as it enabled the conquest of the green lineage and its ecosystem on land. Today, apart from AM fungi, plants co-exist with a plethora of micro-organisms, and exactly how …

Elucidating three novel mechanisms of Pseudomonas syringae pathogenicity
Pseudomonas syringae is an important bacterial plant pathogen that, as a species, is known to cause disease on hundreds of different plant species. However, any individual pathovar of P. syringae typically only causes disease on one or a few plant species, which constitute the host range of the …

Genomic characterizations of Xanthomonas cucurbitae and using comparative genomics to predict novel microbe-associated molecular patterns in Xanthomonas
Bacterial spot is a major plant disease caused by many plant-pathogenic members of the genus Xanthomonas. While each species is narrow in host range, bacterial spot Xanthomonads infect a large variety of plant hosts, leading to large economic losses for farmers around the world. Although …
