The paper profiles apoplast multi-omics during fungal infection in A. thaliana to identify nitrogen-dependent mechanisms regulating basal and early induced immunity.

This study shows that nitrogen availability influences BcPNL1-mediated pectin degradation in Arabidopsis, increasing susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea through jasmonic acid repressor gene expression.

The paper investigates how nitrogen availability affects plant-pathogen interactions by altering apoplastic metabolite composition and its impact on bacterial virulence.
