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 the fungus Colletotrichum tofieldiae promotes plant growth under nitrogen limitation by transferring nitrogen independently of plant nitrate transporters and by attracting beneficial bacteria.
