    Abstract Many Gram-negative pathogens employ the type III secretion system (T3SS) to deliver effector proteins into host cells, thereby modulating host cellular processes and suppressing host immunity to facilitate pathogenesis and colonization. In this study, we developed a straightforward, rapid, and quantitative method for detecting T3SS-mediated translocation of Pseudomonas syringae effectors using a self-assembling split Nano luciferase (Nluc)-based reporter system. It was demonstrated that this system can detect effector secretion in vitro with an exceptionally high signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity, attributed to the strong affinity between the split domains of Nluc and the intense luminescence generated by functional Nluc. During natural infections, effectors fused to a small C-terminal fragment of Nluc were successfully translocated into plant cells and retained their virulence functions. Furthermore, upon infection of plants expressing the N-terminal fragment of Nluc with these P. syringae strains, functional Nluc proteins were spontaneously assembled and produced bright luminescence, demonstrating that this system enables the straightforward and rapid assessment of P. syringae T3SS-mediated effector translocation during natural infections. In conclusion, the self-assembling split Nluc-based reporting system developed in this study is suitable for efficient in vitro and in planta detection of effectors secreted via T3SS.

    Abstract In recent years, the field of plant immunity has witnessed remarkable breakthroughs. During the co-evolution between plants and pathogens, plants have developed a wealth of intricate defense mechanisms to safeguard their survival. Newly identified immune receptors have added unexpected complexity to the surface and intracellular sensor networks, enriching our understanding of the ongoing plant-pathogen interplay. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms of resistosome shapes our understanding of these mysterious molecules in plant immunity. Moreover, technological innovations are expanding the horizon of the plant-pathogen battlefield into spatial and temporal scales. While the development provides new opportunities for untangling the complex realm of plant immunity, challenges remain in uncovering plant immunity across spatiotemporal dimensions from both molecular and cellular levels.

    Abstract Plant innate immunity begins with the recognition of pathogens by plasma membrane localized pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) and intracellular nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat containing receptors (NLRs), which lead to pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI), respectively. For a long time, PTI and ETI have been regarded as two independent processes although they share multiple components and signal outputs. Increasing evidence shows an intimate link between PTI and ETI. PTI and ETI mutually potentiate each other, and this is essential for robust disease resistance during pathogen infection. An ancient class of NLRs called RNLs, so named because they carry a Resistance to Powdery Mildew 8 (RPW8)-like coiled-coil (CC) domain in the N terminus, has emerged as a key node connecting PTI and ETI. RNLs not only act as helper NLRs that signal downstream of sensor NLRs, they also directly mediate PTI signaling by associating with PRR complexes. Here, we focus on Activated Disease Resistance 1 (ADR1), a subclass of RNLs, and discuss its role and mechanism in plant immunity.

    Abstract Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) are the largest class of immune receptors in plants. They play a key role in the plant surveillance system by monitoring pathogen effectors that are delivered into the plant cell. Recent structural biology and biochemical analyses have uncovered how NLRs are activated to form oligomeric resistosomes upon the recognition of pathogen effectors. In the resistosome, the signaling domain of the NLR is brought to the center of a ringed structure to initiate immune signaling and regulated cell death (RCD). The N terminus of the coiled-coil (CC) domain of the NLR protein HOPZ-ACTIVATED RESISTANCE 1 likely forms a pore in the plasma membrane to trigger RCD in a way analogous to animal pore-forming proteins that trigger necroptosis or pyroptosis. NLRs that carry TOLL-INTERLEUKIN1-RECEPTOR as a signaling domain may also employ pore-forming resistosomes for RCD execution. In addition, increasing evidence supports intimate connections between NLRs and surface receptors in immune signaling. These new findings are rapidly advancing our understanding of the plant immune system.

    Abstract Background: Deteriorations in eggshell and bone quality are major challenges in aged laying hens. This study compared the differences of eggshell quality, bone parameters and their correlations as well as uterine physiological characteristics and the bone remodeling processes of hens laying eggs of different eggshell breaking strength to explore the mechanism of eggshell and bone quality reduction and their interaction. A total of 240 74-week-old Hy-line Brown laying hens were selected and allocated to a high (HBS, 44.83 ± 1.31 N) or low (LBS, 24.43 ± 0.57 N) eggshell breaking strength group.
    Results: A decreased thickness, weight and weight ratio of eggshells were observed in the LBS, accompanied with ultrastructural deterioration and total Ca reduction. Bone quality was negatively correlated with eggshell quality, marked with enhanced structures and increased components in the LBS. In the LBS, the mammillary knobs and effective layer grew slowly. At the initiation stage of eggshell calcification, a total of 130 differentially expressed genes (DEGs, 122 upregulated and 8 downregulated) were identified in the uterus of hens in the LBS relative to those in the HBS. These DEGs were relevant to apoptosis due to the cellular Ca overload. Higher values of p62 protein level, caspase-8 activity, Bax protein expression and lower values of Bcl protein expression and Bcl/Bax ratio were seen in the LBS. TUNEL assay and hematoxylin-eosin staining showed a significant increase in TUNEL-positive cells and tissue damages in the uterus of the LBS. Although few DEGs were identified at the growth stage, similar uterine tissue damages were also observed in the LBS. The expressions of runt-related transcription factor 2 and osteocalcin were upregulated in humeri of the LBS. Enlarged diameter and more structural damages of endocortical bones and decreased ash were observed in femurs of the HBS.
    Conclusion: The lower eggshell breaking strength may be attributed to a declined Ca transport due to uterine tissue damages, which could affect eggshell calcification and lead to a weak ultrastructure. Impaired uterine Ca transport may result in reduced femoral bone resorption and increased humeral bone formation to maintain a higher mineral and bone quality in the LBS.

    Abstract The proper disposal of spent soil washing solution is a great challenge to ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA)-base soil washing technologies, particularly when the solution contains multi-metals. In this paper, we proposed an environmentally friendly disposal of multi-metal spent washing solution, in which the multi-metals were concentrated as hazardous precipitates for further safe disposal, and EDTA was reclaimed and recycled to further wash contaminated soil together with the cleansed process water.

    Abstract Various mechanical effects have been reported with molecular materials, yet organic crystals capable of multiple dynamic effects are rare, and at present, their performance is worse than some of the common actuators. Here, we report a confluence of different mechanical effects across three polymorphs of an organic crystal that can efficiently convert light into work. Upon photodimerization, acicular crystals of polymorph I display output work densities of about 0.06-3.94 kJ m
