  • Cell-surface receptors form the front line of plant immunity. Here, the authors show that the RLP co-receptors SOBIR1 and BAK1 directly phosphorylate each other, leading to activation of the immune receptor complex in which RLCKs are differentially required for production of reactive oxygen species that play a role in resistance against Phytophthora palmivora.

  • The perception of immune elicitors induces fast and massive transcriptional reprogramming. A comprehensive analysis of the response to seven molecules uncovers a core danger response and highlights the role of a family of calcium-permeable channels in immunity.

  • Pattern-triggered immunity is activated by recognition of microbe-derived structures by host pattern recognition receptors. Here the authors use a genotype-by sequencing approach to show that bacterial translation initiation factor 1 triggers PTI in Arabidopsis thaliana after recognition by the RLP32 receptor.

  • The identification of two receptors for salicylic acid reveals how the hormone controls cell death and survival during plant immune responses, in tissues close to and distant from the site of infection. See Letter p.228

  • The Arabidopsis leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein RLP42 perceives a 9-amino-acid peptide contained in a fungal endopolygalacturonase. Other Brassica species perceive different epitopes, highlighting rapid and convergent evolution to ensure immunity against pathogenic microbes.

  • Parasitic plants such as Cuscuta penetrate the shoots of susceptible hosts to obtain sugars, solutes and water. Here the authors show that resistant varieties of tomato can trigger an immune response against Cuscuta by perceiving a small glycine rich protein produced by the parasite.

  • NLPs are immunogenic patterns present in three kingdoms of life. The authors identify the leucin-rich repeat membrane protein RLP23 as the NLP receptor in Arabidopsis. Expression of RLP23 in potato enhances immunity against pathogenic microbes.

  • Plant defence is based on a two-tiered immune system comprising pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI). Effective defence against host-adapted microbial pathogens relies on mutual potentiation of immunity by both PTI and ETI components.

  • The resistance gene Sr43, which was crossed into bread wheat from the wild grass Thinopyrum elongatum, encodes an unusual protein kinase fusion protein that confers wheat stem rust resistance.

  • Genomic and pangenomic data are yielding insights into the evolution of plant pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and their molecular triggers. Recent advances in in silico and in vivo methods, alongside protein structure prediction, are helping to harness these insights for PRR engineering, offering sustainable solutions for broad-spectrum plant disease resistance.

  • In this Review, Wang and colleagues review the strategies microbial pathogens use to evade plant immunity for successful infection. They highlight how microbial effectors manipulate host cellular processes involved in immune sensing, signal integration and defence execution and how to exploit this knowledge to engineer crop resistance.
