NRG1 functions downstream of EDS1 to regulate TIR-NLR-mediated plant immunity in Nicotiana benthamiana

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that NRG1 is a key component that acts downstream of EDS1 to mediate various TNL signaling pathways, including Roq1 and RPP1-mediated HR, resistance to Xanthomonas and Pseudomonas, and XopQ-regulated transcriptional changes in N. benthamiana.
Journal ArticleDOI

O -Acetylation of Arabidopsis Hemicellulose Xyloglucan Requires AXY4 or AXY4L, Proteins with a TBL and DUF231 Domain

TL;DR: In an Arabidopsis thaliana forward genetic screen aimed at identifying mutants with altered structures of their hemicellulose xyloglucan (axy mutants) using oligosaccharide mass profiling, two nonallelic mutants that have a 20 to 35% reduction in xylglucan O-acetylation were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Roq1 mediates recognition of the Xanthomonas and Pseudomonas effector proteins XopQ and HopQ1.

TL;DR: Recognition of Roq1 (Roq1), a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) protein with a Toll-like interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain, which mediates XopQ recognition in N. benthamiana is identified, demonstrating widespread potential application in protecting crop plants from these pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Diversity and Function of Xyloglucan Sidechain Substituents

TL;DR: A comprehensive list of known XyG sidechain substituents is assembled including their occurrence within plant families, thereby providing insight into the evolutionary origin of the various sidechains.
