Thieffry, López-Márquez, et al. explore the use of alternative transcriptional start sites during immune responses. https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koac108 Background: Upon sensing an attempted infection, plants change from growth to defense by reshaping gene activity. However, there is not always a 1:1 relationship between gene and protein. Rather, genes may work like zip files that are unzipped to […]
