TL;DR: A simplified and highly efficient transient gene expression system using photosynthetically active rice green tissue protoplasts and its broad applications in protein immunoblot, localization and protein-protein interaction assays are shown.

TL;DR: Data support the notion that LYP4 and LYP6 are promiscuous PRRs for PGN and chitin in rice innate immunity, and pretreatment with excess PGN dramatically attenuated the alkalinization response of rice cells to chit in but not to flagellin.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent advances in the establishment of MAPK cascades as unified signaling modules downstream of receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and receptor- like proteins (RLPs) in plant growth and defense, the identification of components connecting the RLK/RLP receptor complexes to the MAPK cascade, and the interactions between MAPK and hormone signaling pathways.

TL;DR: This study highlights a critical role of MPK3/MPK6 in manipulating plant photosynthetic activities to promote ROS accumulation in chloroplasts and HR cell death, which contributes to the robustness of ETI.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the pathogen-responsive MPK3/MPK6 cascade and ABA are two essential signaling pathways that control, respectively, the organic acid metabolism and ion channels, two main branches of osmotic regulation in guard cells that function interdependently to control stomatal opening/closure.
