Just out Cell Host & Microbe: T Maekawa, LK Mahdi, M Huang, X Zhang, and colleagues, show how plants have evolved a family of immune proteins that sense pathogen molecules and set appropriate innate immune responses in motion to protect plants from harmful microorganisms.

Plant MLKLs: Lisa Mahdi Zhang Xiaoxiao Zhang Maekawa &Co discover plant protein family resembling vertebrate necroptosis mediator MLKL. AtMLKLs promote NLR-mediated pathogen resistance & exist in auto-repressed state w/HeLo domain eliciting cell death cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Finally 😃 thanks to all of the people that contributed!!

Fungi hijack a plant apoplastic endoglucanase to release a ROS scavenging β-glucan decasaccharide to subvert immune responses biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

Happy to share the latest preprint from the Zuccaro lab on the role of fungal β-glucans in plant-microbe interactions. Great collaborative effort by Balakumaran Chandrasekar, Pia Saake, @Lisai_lisa, Milena Malisic and others! MPIPZ Cologne CEPLAS
