Defense, fast and slow: activation of different MAPK pathways in response to wounding
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefIn a world full of herbivores and mechanical stresses, the ability to sense and respond to wounding is crucial for plants, as injuries open doors for phytopathogen entry and allow uncontrolled evaporation. Wounding triggers local and systemic defenses that heal injuries, make plants taste unpleasant…
A closed mouth catches no pathogens: how plants sense bacteria and regulate stomata
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellChan, Panzeri, et al. show how a receptor-like kinase regulates stomatal immunity by phosphorylating an anion channel that mediates closure of stomata. Plant Cell. https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.19.00578

Life is Sweeter with Trehalose 6-Phosphate
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefBesides making our daily lives sweeter, sugars are the most important energy source in all organisms. Balancing their availability and regulating their partitioning between tissues are major determinants for growth and development. In plants, sucrose is the main product of photosynthesis and is transported…
