Iron-dependent reprogramming of damage-associated peptide receptor signaling coordinates immunity and phosphate stress adaptation

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.

Humidity-driven ABA depletion determines plant-pathogen competition for leaf water

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

Cellular energy sensor SnRK1 suppresses salicylic acid-dependent and -independent defenses and bacterial resistance 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.
