Phosphate starvation in Arabidopsis potentiates Pep-PEPR signaling, but not flagellin or chitin responses, via LPR1/LPR2 iron-redox, RBOHD/RBOHF and WRKY33; basal PEPR activity also supports phosphate-starvation responses.

The paper shows that humidity increases ABA catabolism via CYP707A3, reducing ABA levels and limiting bacterial infection in Arabidopsis.

This study shows that SnRK1 suppresses salicylic acid-dependent and -independent defense responses and bacterial resistance in Arabidopsis by modulating gene expression and interacting with TGA transcription factors.

The paper examines how soil nutrition affects the root-associated microbiome of rice across seasons and conditions, finding nitrogen-fixing bacteria dominate in non-fertilized fields and a machine learning model can predict soil fertilization status from microbiome data.

This study constructs a bacterial wilt-suppressive synthetic community in tomato that reduces disease under axenic and soil conditions by enhancing plant defense mechanisms.
