Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of shoot branching by new terpenoid plant hormones
Mikihisa Umehara,Atsushi Hanada,Satoko Yoshida,Kohki Akiyama,Tomotsugu Arite,Noriko Takeda-Kamiya,Hiroshi Magome,Yuji Kamiya,Ken Shirasu,Koichi Yoneyama,Junko Kyozuka,Shinjiro Yamaguchi +11 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that strigolactones act as a new hormone class—or their biosynthetic precursors—in regulating above-ground plant architecture, and also have a function in underground communication with other neighbouring organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
CERK1, a LysM receptor kinase, is essential for chitin elicitor signaling in Arabidopsis
Ayako Miya,Premkumar Albert,Premkumar Albert,Tomonori Shinya,Yoshitake Desaki,Kazuya Ichimura,Ken Shirasu,Yoshihiro Narusaka,Naoto Kawakami,Hanae Kaku,Naoto Shibuya +10 more
TL;DR: CERK1 is a plasma membrane protein containing three LysM motifs in the extracellular domain and an intracellular Ser/Thr kinase domain with autophosphorylation/myelin basic protein kinase activity, suggesting that CERK 1 plays a critical role in fungal MAMP perception in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
The main auxin biosynthesis pathway in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: In this article, the TAA family produces indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPA) and the YUC family functions in the conversion of IPA to IAA in Arabidopsis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Findings show that preinvasion perception of plant-derived signals substantially reprograms fungal gene expression and indicate previously unknown functions for particular fungal cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct regulation of the NADPH oxidase RBOHD by the PRR-associated kinase BIK1 during plant immunity.
Yasuhiro Kadota,Jan Sklenar,Paul Derbyshire,Lena Stransfeld,Shuta Asai,Vardis Ntoukakis,Jonathan D. G. Jones,Ken Shirasu,Frank L.H. Menke,Alexandra M. E. Jones,Cyril Zipfel +10 more
TL;DR: This study reveals a rapid regulatory mechanism of a plant RBOH, which occurs in parallel with and is essential for its paradigmatic calcium-based regulation.
