Researchers have unveiled a novel immune mechanism by which tandem kinases combat pathogen invasion: an atypical NLR protein, ...

Few living things seem to have less in common than plants and animals, but that assumption is being increasingly challenged. Evolution, and the ways in which the kingdom of plants and the kingdom ...

A team of scientists across five continents led by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Associate ...

The discovery of the resistosome was a milestone in plant immunity. Here, Zhong et al. identify a kinase that phosphorylates the NLR, and reveal how this kinase regulates resistosome assembly to ...

But bacteria can interfere with PAMP-triggered immunity by injecting effector molecules into the plant cell. Intracellular plant protein complexes called nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat ...

"Climate change is causing diseases to appear in places previously unseen. We need more study of plant immunity to develop technologies that will protect valuable food crops," said Wulff.

“We need more study of plant immunity to develop technologies that will protect valuable food crops." Wheat provides food for billions of people as well as the animals they eat. But the grain is ...

Could following a plant-based diet improve your health or is it not that simple? Here's what experts say… So what are plant-based diets? They are “mostly based on foods derived from plants ...
