Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how plants establish long-lasting immunity through a process called "priming," which enhances their ability to respond to infections without showing immediate signs of defense.
- Research indicates that a chromatin regulator known as MOM1 plays a crucial role in this priming process, and mutations in MOM1 lead to increased sensitivity to defense-inducing compounds like azelaic acid (AZA), β-aminobutyric acid (BABA), and pipecolic acid (PIP).
- The findings suggest that MOM1 normally acts to negatively regulate this priming process by controlling the expression of immune receptor genes, thus impacting the plant's systemic resistance to pathogens.
