Plant and microbial features governing an endophytic lifestyle
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Nov 6;76:102483. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102483. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBeneficial microorganisms colonizing internal plant tissues, the endophytes, support their host through plant growth promotion, pathogen protection, and abiotic stress alleviation. Their efficient application in agriculture requires the understanding of the molecular mechanisms and environmental conditions that facilitate in planta accommodation. Accumulating evidence reveals that commensal microorganisms employ similar colonization strategies as their pathogenic counterparts. Fine-tuning of immune response, motility, ...

Bryo-FIGHTs: Emerging insights and principles acquired from non-vascular plant-pathogen interactions
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Nov 4;76:102484. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102484. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSince the dawn of land plant evolution, pathogenic microbes have impacted plant health and threatened their survival. Though much of our knowledge on plant-pathogen interactions is derived from flowering plants, emerging research leveraging evolutionarily divergent non-vascular/non-seed bryophytes is beginning to shed light on the history and diversity of plant immune and infection processes. Here, we highlight key bryophyte-microbe pathosystems used to address fundamental questions on plant health. To this end, we out...

The exocyst complex is an evolutionary battleground in plant-microbe interactions
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Nov 2;76:102482. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102482. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExocytosis is a conserved trafficking pathway that transports secretory vesicles to the extracellular space, replenishes the plasma membrane and is essential for establishing cell polarity. Its spatiotemporal regulation is mediated by an evolutionary conserved octameric tethering complex, the exocyst. In plants, certain subunits of this complex have diversified and acquired multiple functions, including a central role in defense against pathogens and pests. Here, I review the latest evidence suggesting the dramatic exp...

Unlocking nature's (sub)cellular symphony: Phase separation in plant meristems
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2023 Oct 18;76:102480. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2023.102480. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlant development is based on the balance of stem cell maintenance and differentiation in the shoot and root meristems. The necessary cell fate decisions are regulated by intricate networks of proteins and biomolecules within plant cells and require robust and dynamic compartmentalization strategies, including liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), which allows the formation of membrane-less compartments. This review summarizes the current knowledge about the emerging field of LLPS in plant development, with a particu...
