Walking down the phosphorylation path to root immunity

Cell Host Microbe. 2023 Dec 13;31(12):1953-1955. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2023.11.013.ABSTRACTPathogen perception in plant roots is under-explored compared to that in shoots. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Wang et al. characterize the phosphorylation-mediated signaling pathway that positively and negatively regulates plant resistance to bacterial wilt disease upon perception of a metabolite from the soil-borne vascular pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum.PMID:38096788 | DOI:10.1016/j.chom.2023.11.013
