Kang et al. (2022) show that Arabidopsis CHROMATIN REMODELING 19 represses transcription and functions in plant defenses against pathogens. https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koab318 by Huijia Kang and Yan Zhu, School of Life Sciences, Fudan University. Background: Plants induce defenses in response to plant–pathogen interactions, which involve massive transcriptional reprogramming and chromatin remodeling. Increasing evidence implicates remodeler-mediated changes in […]
