Integrative multiomic analysis identifies genes associated with cuticular wax biogenesis in adult maize leaves Open
Studying the genetic basis of leaf wax composition and its correlation with leaf cuticular conductance (gc) is crucial for improving crop productivity. The leaf cuticle, which comprises a cutin matrix and various waxes, functions as an ext…

β-Glucan-binding proteins are key modulators of immunity and symbiosis in mutualistic plant–microbe interactions Open
In order to discriminate between detrimental, commensal, and beneficial microbes, plants rely on polysaccharides such as β-glucans, which are integral components of microbial and plant cell walls. The conversion of cell wall-associated β-g…

Strigolactone deficiency induces jasmonate, sugar and flavonoid phytoalexin accumulation enhancing rice defense against the blast fungus <i>Pyricularia oryzae</i> Open
Summary Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid‐derived phytohormones that regulate plant growth and development. While root‐secreted SLs are well‐known to facilitate plant symbiosis with beneficial microbes, the role of SLs in plant interacti…

A GH81-type β-glucan-binding protein facilitates colonization by mutualistic fungi in barley Open
Cell walls are important interfaces of plant-fungal interactions. Host cell walls act as robust physical and chemical barriers against fungal invaders, making them an essential line of defense. Upon fungal colonization, plants deposit phen…
