Article Synopsis
- Plant immunity involves recognizing pathogens, leading to the production of defense metabolites that combat infections.
- Researchers studied barley roots' interactions with fungal pathogens, identifying hordedanes, new antimicrobial compounds, which are produced when barley is infected.
- Barley mutants lacking hordedane production showed increased colonization by Fusarium, suggesting that while hordedanes defend against certain fungi, they may also aid the growth of others, highlighting the complexity of plant-pathogen interactions.
