Bacteria use the transcription factor binding region of their transcription activator-like effectors to hijack host basal transcription factor to cause rice diseases by activating host susceptibility genes.

Biochemical and in planta studies reveal how a rice immune receptor pair has coevolved to deliver immune responses, an important step towards understanding and engineering bespoke resistance to crop pathogens that threaten food security.

A common rice pest can avoid its natural parasite by settling on plants that smell like they have been damaged by a species of caterpillar.

Simple mathematical models can relate gene expression to climatic variables in field grown rice.

Conditional genetic inactivation of a highly conserved, ancestral subgroup of 14-3-3 proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana reveals fundamental roles in auxin transport-dependent plant development and post-Golgi trafficking processes.

The MADA motif is functionally conserved across NLRs from distantly related plants and has degenerated in sensor NLRs over evolutionary time.

The activation of transposable elements and relaxed purifying selection underpin an incipient expansion of the genome in populations of a major wheat pathogen.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a protein called Ecp6, which is produced by a tomato fungus, reveals how the protein prevents plants from launching an immune response to the chitin in fungal cell walls.
