At the intersection of plant growth and immunity

Wenfei Wang et al. Cell Host Microbe. .

Abstract

The tradeoff between growth and immunity is regulated by integrating hormonal cues, biotic signals, and developmental programs, and is fine-tuned to maximize organismal growth and survival. Four recent papers, including Chandran et al. (2014) in this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, provide insights into the underlying mechanisms in plants.

Growth and immunity must be balanced, like ying and yang, according to endogenous and environmental cues. The interactions between the PAMP and BR pathways, and the regulation of immunity by the developmental regulator DEL1, illustrate the complex molecular networks underlying this balance.
