Lee D, Lee H, Choi M, Parys K, Honda K, Kondoh Y, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Nov; 15(1):9811. PMID: 39532858
Receptor kinase (RK) families process information from small molecules, short peptides, or glycan ligands to regulate core cellular pathways in plants. To date, whether individual plant RKs are capable of...

Goto Y, Kadota Y, Mbengue M, Lewis J, Matsui H, Maki N, et al.
Plant Cell . 2024 Oct; PMID: 39431742
Plants detect pathogens using cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as ELONGATION Factor-TU (EF-TU) RECEPTOR (EFR) and FLAGELLIN SENSING 2 (FLS2), which recognize bacterial EF-Tu and flagellin, respectively. These PRRs...

White A, Kane A, Ogawa S, Shirasu K, Nelson D
Plant Cell Physiol . 2024 Sep; 65(12):1969-1982. PMID: 39275795
Many root parasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae use host-derived strigolactones (SLs) as germination cues. This adaptation facilitates attachment to a host and is particularly important for the success of obligate...

Hara S, Kakizaki K, Bamba M, Itakura M, Sugawara M, Suzuki A, et al.
Microbes Environ . 2024 Sep; 39(3). PMID: 39261062
Although microbial inoculation may be effective for sustainable crop production, detrimental aspects have been argued because of the potential of inoculated microorganisms to behave as invaders and negatively affect the...

Aoki N, Shimasaki T, Yazaki W, Sato T, Nakayasu M, Ando A, et al.
ISME Commun . 2024 May; 4(1):ycae052. PMID: 38707841
Plant roots secrete various metabolites, including plant specialized metabolites, into the rhizosphere, and shape the rhizosphere microbiome, which is crucial for the plant health and growth. Isoflavones are major plant...

A Abdelhakim I, Futamura Y, Asami Y, Hanaki H, Kito N, Masuda S, et al.
J Nat Prod . 2024 Apr; 87(5):1459-1470. PMID: 38652684
Actinomycetes are prolific producers of natural products, particularly antibiotics. However, a significant proportion of its biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) remain silent under typical laboratory conditions. This limits the effectiveness of...

Boukteb A, Sato K, Gan P, Kharrat M, Sakouhi H, Shibata A, et al.
PLoS One . 2024 Apr; 19(4):e0301981. PMID: 38626155
Orobanche foetida Poiret is the main constraint facing faba bean crop in Tunisia. Indeed, in heavily infested fields with this parasitic plant, yield losses may reach 90%, and the recent...

Masuda S, Gan P, Kiguchi Y, Anda M, Sasaki K, Shibata A, et al.
Commun Biol . 2024 Mar; 7(1):357. PMID: 38538803
The plant microbiome is crucial for plant growth, yet many important questions remain, such as the identification of specific bacterial species in plants, their genetic content, and location of these...

Ishii T, Tsuchida N, Hemelda N, Saito K, Bao J, Watanabe M, et al.
ISME J . 2024 Feb; 18(1). PMID: 38365227
Tailocins are headless phage tail structures that mediate interbacterial antagonism. Although the prototypical tailocins, R- and F-pyocins, in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other predominantly R-type tailocins have been studied, their presence...

Kumakura N, Singkaravanit-Ogawa S, Gan P, Tsushima A, Ishihama N, Watanabe S, et al.
New Phytol . 2024 Feb; 242(1):170-191. PMID: 38348532
Plants activate immunity upon recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Although phytopathogens have evolved a set of effector proteins to counteract plant immunity, some effectors are perceived by hosts and induce...
