Arnaud Djami Tchatchou and co-authors show how plant hormones like auxin are involved in disease resistance. Their results show that auxin signaling in the host affects salicylic acid synthesis and can lead to susceptibility. They also found that auxin can modulate virulence gene expression in bacteria (Pst DC3000).
Muhammad Asyraf Md Hatta, a former graduate student in the lab of Brande Wulff at the John Innes Centre, discusses a collaborative study focused on the functional and evolutionary characterization of a wheat gene, Sr22, which confers broad-spectrum resistance to stem rust in wheat.
MPMI Editor-in-Chief Jeanne Harris has invited three early-career professionals to serve as assistant feature editors on her editorial board: Morgan Carter, Elizabeth Deyett, and Juan S. Ramirez. These editors will explore new ways to present and amplify MPMI journal articles.
