Journal ArticleDOI

Interfamily transfer of a plant pattern-recognition receptor confers broad-spectrum bacterial resistance

TL;DR: The results in controlled laboratory conditions suggest that heterologous expression of PAMP recognition systems could be used to engineer broad-spectrum disease resistance to important bacterial pathogens, potentially enabling more durable and sustainable resistance in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signatures of adaptation to obligate biotrophy in the Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis genome

TL;DR: The genome sequence of the oomycete Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis is reported, an obligate biotroph and natural pathogen of Arabidopsis thaliana, which exhibits dramatic reductions in genes encoding RXLR effectors, proteins associated with zoospore formation and motility, and enzymes for assimilation of inorganic nitrogen and sulfur.
Journal ArticleDOI

CITRX thioredoxin interacts with the tomato Cf-9 resistance protein and negatively regulates defence.

TL;DR: This is the first study that implicates thioredoxin activity in the regulation of plant disease resistance and acts as a negative regulator of the cell death and defence responses induced through Cf‐9, but not Cf‐2.
Journal ArticleDOI

The earliest maize from San Marcos Tehuacán is a partial domesticate with genomic evidence of inbreeding.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the earliest maize from San Marcos was already inbred, opening the possibility for Tehuacán maize cultivation evolving from reduced founder populations of isolated and perhaps self-pollinated individuals.
