TL;DR: Investigating the biological functions of two members of the less studied IXb subgroup of the ethylene response factor family in Arabidopsis thaliana suggests that ERF5 and ERF6 play positive but redundant roles in defense against B. cinerea and may also play a role in the antagonistic crosstalk between the JA/Et and SA signalling pathways.

TL;DR: Recent key findings in photo and temporal regulation of immune responses may allow plants to anticipate and react more effectively to particular pathogen infections.

TL;DR: Results suggest that ATP-PRT expression plays a major role in regulating the pool of free His and contributes to the exceptional Ni tolerance of hyperaccumulator Alyssum species.

TL;DR: It is shown that Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) has circadian clock-mediated variation in resistance to the virulent bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000), with plants being least susceptible to infection in the subjective morning.

TL;DR: Two genes, At4g23810 and At2g40000, encoding the transcription factor WRKY53 and the nematode resistance protein-like HSPRO2 are identified, which appear to function downstream of salicylic acid and to be negatively regulated by signaling through jasmonic acid and ethylene.
