Abstract

Plant immunity is mediated by multiple factors, including microbial interactions and gene expression. Keppler et al. identified a set of microbe-responsive genes (general non-self response genes) whose expression or products affect bacterial strain abundance and enhance immunity. We explore how these genes shape alternative plant defense strategies for sustainable agriculture.

Keywords: leaf microbiome; plant immunity; sustainable agriculture.
