Evolutionary Trade-off Between Stomatal Defense and Gas Exchange in Brassicaceae

Wenshang Kang, Masahito Nakano, Kaori Fukumoto, Rikako Hirata, Pei Zhai, Yulin Du, Kunqi Hong, Jörg Ziegler, Yayoi Tsuda, Dieter Becker, Eiji Nambara, Ryohei Thomas Nakano, Shunsuke Miyashima, Akira Mine, Xiaowei Han, Kenichi Tsuda

The paper shows that COR from Pto exploits CYP707A1 in A. thaliana to enhance gas exchange but reduces resistance in other Brassicaceae species.

Biosynthesis of a major plant immunity hormone, salicylate, underwent multiple drastic changes during evolution of flowering plants

Fumiaki Katagiri, Evan A. Larson, Kunqi Hong, Kenichi Tsuda, Jerry D. Cohen, Adrian D. Hegeman

The paper quantifies SA biosynthesis pathways in flowering plants and finds they evolved from non-ICS/PAL to PAL to ICS, suggesting adaptive responses to pathogens.
