TL;DR

An RLCK-V subfamily member in potato is reported, StSOAK1, which negatively regulates disease resistance to the oomycete Phytophthora infestans and the fungus Botrytis cinerea and reveals a regulatory mechanism of potato StRBOHB, which occurs in parallel with its paradigmatic AtPBL13-mediated regulation in Arabidopsis.

A Ca2+ sensor-transcription factor cascade regulates cell-wall fortification and broad-spectrum disease resistance in rice.

It is demonstrated that the OsVAL2-OsDOF3-OsCSE module promotes lignin deposition and cell-wall fortification to confer broad-spectrum disease resistance, highlighting the crucial role of cell-wall remodeling in crop disease resistance.

The Small GTPase RHO1 Regulates ROS Homeostasis and Differentially Responds to Pathogens Infection via Interaction With Aquaporin TIP1;1 in Nicotiana

A mechanism by which the small GTPase RHO1 regulates ROS compartmentalization to affect the plant response to different pathogen infections is demonstrated, indicating the diversity of responses of a plant gene to different biotic factors.

Unfolded Protein Response signaling restricts PTI and limits salicylic acid-dependent cell death under ER stress

The Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) maintains endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis during proteotoxic stress while also contributing to plant immunity. However, the functional relationship between UPR signaling, pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) and salicylic acid (SA) remains poor...

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…
