The Tomato <span>PR</span> ‐5 Proteins <span>PR</span> ‐5x and <span>NP24</span> Exert Antifungal Activity Against <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> Open
Vascular wilt diseases, caused by the soilborne pathogen Fusarium oxysporum (Fo), significantly impact agriculture and horticulture. Traditional management strategies are often environmentally harmful and not effective once the pathogen ha…

The protein modifier SUMO is critical for Arabidopsis shoot meristem maintenance at warmer ambient temperatures Open
Short heat waves (>37°C) are extremely damaging to non-acclimated plants and their capacity to recover from heat stress is key for their survival. To acclimate, the HEAT SHOCK TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR A1 (HSFA1) subfamily activates a transcrip…

The Arabidopsis SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 mediates the temperature dependent trade-off between plant immunity and growth Open
Increased ambient temperature is inhibitory to plant immunity including auto-immunity. SNC1-dependent auto-immunity is, for example, fully suppressed at 28°C. We found that the Arabidopsis sumoylation mutant siz1 displays SNC1-dependent au…

Arabidopsis TCP Transcription Factors Interact with the SUMO Conjugating Machinery in Nuclear Foci Open
In Arabidopsis more than 400 proteins have been identified as SUMO targets, both in vivo and in vitro. Among others, transcription factors (TFs) are common targets for SUMO conjugation. Here we aimed to exhaustively screen for TFs that int…

Dispensable chromosomes in <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>lycopersici</i> Open
SUMMARY The genomes of many filamentous fungi consist of a ‘core’ part containing conserved genes essential for normal development as well as conditionally dispensable (CD) or lineage‐specific (LS) chromosomes. In the plant‐pathogenic fung…

Exchange of core chromosomes and horizontal transfer of lineage‐specific chromosomes in <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> Open
Summary Horizontal transfer of supernumerary or lineage‐specific (LS) chromosomes has been described in a number of plant pathogenic filamentous fungi. So far it was not known whether transfer is restricted to chromosomes of certain size o…
