Elucidation of the signaling network controlling the crosstalk between plant immunity and environmental response
Description: The transcription library of Arabidopsis thaliana was screened to identify the regulators of immune cofactors NPR1 and JAZ proteins. We found that NPR1 and JAZ associate with TGA, WRKY, MYC, NAC, HSF transcription factors, and mediators involved in photoresponse, drought stress, cell cycle, and growth regulation. Furthermore, we have shown that NPR1 directly affects the transcriptomes of photomorphogenesis, drought stress, and wounding. The identification of hub mediators between plant immunity and environmental responses will contribute to unveiling the molecular network.
