Bidirectional root–shoot signalling is probably key in orchestrating stress responses and
ensuring plant survival. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana responses to microbial root …

Plant stress responses involve dynamic growth regulation. Growth is restricted in harsh
environmental conditions and is rapidly restored when conditions improve. Here, we …

Plants rely heavily on receptor-like kinases (RLKs) for perception and integration of external
and internal stimuli. The Arabidopsis regulatory leucine-rich repeat RLK (LRR-RLK) BAK1 is …

Abstract APETALA2/ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR (AP2/ERF) family transcription
factors have well-documented functions in stress responses, but their roles in …

In nature, roots of healthy plants are colonized by multikingdom microbial communities that
include bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. A key question is how plants control the assembly of …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are growth-promoting plant hormones that play a role in abiotic
stress responses, but molecular modes that enable this activity remain largely unknown …

Plant growth and development are highly regulated processes that are coordinated by
hormones including the brassinosteroids (BRs), a group of steroids with structural similarity …

Phytohormones have essential roles in coordinately regulating a large array of
developmental processes. Studies have revealed that brassinosteroids (BRs) and abscisic …

The molecular mechanisms underlying the trade-off between plant innate immunity and
steroid-mediated growth are controversial. Here, we report that activation of the transcription …

Plant innate immunity depends in part on recognition of pathogen-associated molecular
patterns (PAMPs), such as bacterial flagellin, EF-Tu, and fungal chitin. Recognition is …
