This study shows that acclimation to high daily temperature fluctuations in Arabidopsis thaliana reduces disease resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by altering gene expression and immune regulatory networks.

The paper analyzes gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to show that neutral transcriptome rewiring enables evolvable quantitative disease resistance.

The paper investigates how mechanical stress induces transient immune priming in Arabidopsis, showing sustained gene activation and dynamic network memory that limits resistance.

This study uses low-cost phenotyping to analyze QDR strategies in wild tomato species against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, revealing diverse resistance mechanisms and their genetic dependence.
