The thylakoid membrane (TM) is a specialized structure present in most oxygen-evolving photosynthetic cyanobacteria and chloroplasts. VESICLE-INDUCING PROTEINS IN PLASTIDS 1 (VIPP1) is a key protein involved in TM biogenesis, shaping, and maintenance. VIPP1 originated from PspA and over time has specialized to the TM, which likely coevolved with the emergence of the C-terminal tail (Vc) present in VIPP1 but not in PspA.

Introduction: Resveratrol synthase (RS) is a key enzyme involved in the synthesis of stilbene and resveratrol. Resveratrol has many biological pharmacological activities that are beneficial to human health including anti-cancer, cardiovascular protection, estrogen regulation, antibacterial, antiviral, and reduction of tissue and organ damage. In plants, RS catalyzes the production of resveratrol, which helps to protect against fungal and bacterial diseases.

, previously classified in the genus until 2007, is an attenuated pathogen known to provide cross-protection against wilt in various crops. To investigate the potential mechanisms underlying its reduced virulence, we conducted genome sequencing, annotation, and a comparative genome analysis of GnVn.1 (GnVn.

Soybean is one of the major plants providing nutrition for humans and livestock globally. In this study, we overexpressed a novel gene () in and conducted bioinformatic analyses, evaluated the T2 transgenic line in an open field, and applied major stressors along with the growth promoter GA to investigate the potential functions of the gene.

Protein elicitors can induce plant systemic resistance to pathogens. The recognition of a potential elicitor activates intracellular signaling events, leading to plant resistance against pathogens. In this study, a novel protein elicitor was isolated from the culture filtrate of and named PeVn1, which can induce cell death in several plant species.

Introduction: 2P24 was isolated from soil of natural decay associated with wheat take-all and it can effectively control soil-borne diseases caused by a variety of plant pathogens. 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG), is produced by 2P24 and plays an important role in the prevention and control of plant diseases. To understand the resistant mechanism, in this study, we conducted experiments to explore the regulation role of in the synthesis of the antibiotic 2,4-DAPG and regulation of QS system.
