TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: It is shown that PGN sensing and immunity to bacterial infection in Arabidopsis thaliana requires three lysin-motif (LysM) domain proteins, and proposed that lineage-specific PGN perception systems have arisen through convergent evolution.

TL;DR: Microarray data show enrichment of GCC motifs in the promoters of ERF104–up-regulated genes, many of which are stress related, as altered expression in both erf104 and overexpressors led to more growth inhibition by flg22 and enhanced susceptibility to a non-adapted bacterial pathogen.

TL;DR: It is shown that the leucine-rich repeat receptor protein (LRR-RP) RLP23 binds in vivo to a conserved 20-amino-acid fragment found in most NLPs, thereby mediating immune activation in Arabidopsis thaliana and inducing immunity to destructive oomycete and fungal plant pathogens.

TL;DR: It is proposed that PGN perception systems arose independently in both lineages and are the result of convergent evolution, and it is shown that both PAMPs are perceived via different perception systems.
