Salicylic acid is vital for protecting plants from pathogens, but its synthesis remains unclear. A recent study by Shinshu University researchers has discovered that the protein HSR201 is key to ...

RPM1-interacting protein 4 (RIN4) is a conserved plant immunity regulator that has been extensively studied and can be modified by pathogenic effector proteins. RIN4 plays an important role in both ...

However, the defense functions of most apoplastic proteases remain largely elusive. • We show here that a newly identified small cysteine-rich secreted protein PC2 from the potato late blight pathogen ...
