Integration of light and hormone signaling pathways in the regulation of plant shade avoidance syndrome

Yang Liu, Fereshteh Jafari, Haiyang Wang · 26 Apr 2021

As sessile organisms, plants are unable to move or escape from their neighboring competitors under high-density planting conditions. Instead, they have evolved the ability to sense changes in light quantity and quality (such as a reduction in photoactive radiation and drop in red/far-red light ratios) and evoke a suite of adaptative responses (such as stem…

Epigenetic regulation of plant immunity: from chromatin codes to plant disease resistance

Sisi Xie, Cheng‐Guo Duan · 17 Mar 2023

Facing a deteriorating natural environment and an increasing serious food crisis, bioengineering-based breeding is increasing in importance. To defend against pathogen infection, plants have evolved multiple defense mechanisms, including pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI). A complex regulatory network acts downstream of these PTI and ETI pathways, including hormone signal transduction…
