Article Abstract
Vitamin B6 (VB6), a metabolic cofactor, is essential for plants, animals, and microorganisms. VB6 has emerged as an important regulator of plant immunity, modulating various immune responses, including basal immunity, stomatal defence, and induced systemic resistance. However, the role of VB6 in systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and the active VB6 vitamers involved in modulating plant immunity remain unclear. A recent study reveals that Δ1-piperideine-6-carboxylic acid (P6C), a metabolite from lysine catabolism, sequesters VB6 vitamers, such as pyridoxal (PL) and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), into inert complexes. This depletion of active VB6 vitamers disrupts VB6 homeostasis, impairing SAR, while exogenous application of VB6 restores resistance. Interestingly, the resemblance of this mechanism to pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy in humans suggests evolutionary conservation of these metabolic processes. This article explores the multifaceted roles of VB6 in different aspects of plant immunity. We emphasise the need for further research to decode the complex interplay between VB6 homeostasis and defence hormone pathways to deepen our understanding of immune signalling and develop new strategies to enhance stress resilience in plants.

Salt stress impairs photosynthetic efficiency and consequently reduces the growth, development, and grain yield of crop plants. The formation of hydrophobic barriers in the root endodermis, including the suberin lamellae and Casparian strips, is a key adaptive strategy for salt stress tolerance. In this study, we identified the role of the rice NAC transcription factor, ONAC005, in salt stress tolerance.

Global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production faces significant challenges due to the destructive nature of leaf (Puccinia triticina; leaf rust [Lr]), stem (Puccinia graminis; stem rust [Sr]), and stripe (Puccinia striiformis; stripe rust [Yr]) rust diseases. Despite ongoing efforts to develop resistant varieties, these diseases remain a persistent challenge due to their highly evolving nature.

Caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) is a highly conserved serine protease that plays a pivotal role in protein homeostasis and quality control in bacteria, mitochondria of mammalian cells, and plant chloroplasts. As the proteolytic core of the ATP-dependent Clp protease complex, ClpP partners with regulatory ATPases (e.g.

Plant viruses are known to indirectly manipulate insect vector behavior by altering host-plant phenotypes, yet the mechanisms by which they directly regulate vector behavior to enhance transmission remain poorly understood. Here, we reveal how the southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) reprograms the host preference of its planthopper vector, Sogatella furcifera, from infected to healthy rice plants by disrupting immune-olfactory crosstalk. We demonstrate that the SRBSDV-encoded P8 protein competitively binds to the S.
