Plant defence: a new weapon in the arsenal.
Plants have evolved intricate defence mechanisms to cope with the wide array of microbial pathogens they encounter. The identification of Sgt1 as an essential component of R gene-mediated disease resistance suggests that the ubiquitin protein degradation pathway plays an important role in plant defence.
