• openAccess   Distinct branches of the N-end rule pathway modulate the plantimmune response 

      Vicente, Jorge; Mendiondo, Guillermina M.; Pauwels, Jarne; Pastor, Victoria; Izquierdo, Yovanny; Naumann, Christin; Movahedi, Mahsa; Rooney, Daniel; Gibbs, Daniel J.; Smart, Katherine; Bachmair, Andreas; Gray, Julie E.; Dissmeyer, Nico; Castresana, Carmen; Ray, Rumiana; Gevaert, Kris; Holdsworth, Michael Wiley (2019)
      The N‐end rule pathway is a highly conserved constituent of the ubiquitin proteasome system, yet little is known about its biological roles. Here we explored the role of the N‐end rule pathway in the plant immune response. ...

      Perazzolli, Michele; Ton, Jurriaan; Estrella Luna; Mauch-Mani, Brigitte; Pappas, Maria L.; Roberts, Michael; Vlot, Corina; Flors, Victor Frontiers Media (2022)
      Due to the rapidly changing climate and increasingly restrictive regulations on the use of pesticides, there is an urgent need to discover and develop new and more sustainable strategies of crop protection that meet the ...
    • openAccess   Phosphorus availability drives mycorrhiza induced resistance in tomato 

      dejana, laura; Ramírez-Serrano, Beatriz; Rivero Bravo, Javier; Gamir, Jordi; López-Ráez, Juan A.; Pozo, Maria J. Frontiers Media (2022)
      Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis can provide multiple benefits to the host plant, including improved nutrition and protection against biotic stress. Mycorrhiza induced resistance (MIR) against pathogens and insect ...
    • openAccess   Plant perception of β-aminobutyric acid is mediated by an aspartyl-tRNA synthetase 

      Luna Diez, Estrella; Van Hulten, Marieke; Zhang, Yuhua; Berkowitz, Oliver; López, Ana; Pétriacq, Pierre; Sellwood, Matthew A.; Chen, Beining; Burrell, Michael M.; Van De Meene, Allison M. L.; Pieterse, Corné MJ J; Flors, Victor; Ton, Jurriaan Nature Publishing Group (2014)
      Specific chemicals can prime the plant immune system for augmented defense. β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) is a priming agent that provides broad-spectrum disease protection. However, BABA also suppresses plant growth when ...
    • openAccess   Small Signals Lead to Big Changes: The Potential of Peptide-Induced Resistance in Plants 

      Pastor Fernández, Julia; Sánchez-Bel, Paloma; Flors, Victor; Cerezo García, Miguel; Pastor, Victoria MDPI (2023-02-16)
      The plant immunity system is being revisited more and more and new elements and roles are attributed to participating in the response to biotic stress. The new terminology is also applied in an attempt to identify different ...
    • openAccess   The Arabidopsis thaliana N-recognin E3 ligase PROTEOLYSIS1 influences the immune response 

      Till, Christopher; Vicente, Jorge; Zhang, Hongtao; Oszvald, Maria; Deery, Michael J.; Pastor, Victoria; Lilley, Kathryn; Ray, Rumiana; Theodoulou, Frederica L.; Holdsworth, Michael Wiley (2019)
      N-degron pathways of ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis (formerly known as the N-end rule pathway) control the stability of substrate proteins dependent on the amino-terminal (Nt) residue. Unlike yeast or mammalian N-recognin ...
    • openAccess   The Role of ABA in Plant Immunity is Mediated through the PYR1 Receptor 

      García-Andrade, Javier; González, Beatriz; Gonzalez-Guzman, Miguel; Rodriguez, Pedro L.; Vera, Pablo MDPI (2020-08-11)
      ABA is involved in plant responses to a broad range of pathogens and exhibits complex antagonistic and synergistic relationships with salicylic acid (SA) and ethylene (ET) signaling pathways, respectively. However, the ...
