This study shows brassinosteroids repress plant immunity by inducing DNA methylation and altering splicing of immune receptor genes through bHLH transcription factors.

This study shows that Pseudomonas simiae WCS417r induces resistance in barley against powdery mildew through pathogen-dependent transcriptional changes without major shifts in the phyllosphere microbiome.

This study shows that synthetic microbial communities induce systemic resistance in barley against powdery mildew without disrupting native microbial communities.

The paper shows isoprene, a plant volatile, acts as a short-distance immune signal in field conditions, enhancing resistance in neighboring plants to bacterial pathogens.
