Filamentous fungal and oomycete plant pathogens that invade by direct penetration through the leaf epidermal cell wall cause devastating diseases. Plant preinvasive immunity toward nonadapted filamentous is highly effective durable. Pre- postinvasive correlates with formation of evolutionarily conserved cell-autonomous structures, named papillae encasements, respectively. Yet, it still unresolved how papillae/encasements are formed whether these defense structures prevent pathogen ingress....
Plant innate immunity toward cell-wall penetrating filamentous pathogens relies on the conserved SYP12 clade of secretory syntaxins. In Arabidopsis, two closely related members, PEN1 and SYP122, play an overlapping role in this general immunity, which can be complemented by members from Marchantia (MpSYP12A MpSYP12B). However, addition to function, alone mediates pre-invasive powdery mildew fungi, likely reflects a specialization its functionality. Here, we show that PEN1-specific correlates...
