Chloroplast manipulation: a new strategy in pathogen warfare uncovered
A cutting-edge study has unveiled the sophisticated methods pathogens use to weaken plant defenses. It shows how a pathogen’s effector protein targets the chloroplast protein StFC-II, increasing its levels in chloroplasts and reducing the plant’s ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). This manipulation significantly compromises the plant’s immune response, offering new insights into potential strategies for enhancing plant resistance to infections.
Fruits of strangers
Two endemic species of the same flowering plant — O nakaiana and O hexandra — have distinctly different origins. Their study is based on molecular analysis of chloroplast samples of this genus taken from surrounding areas. The study demonstrates the complexity of floral speciation and distribution.
