Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers identified eight SA-responsive PCM genes that are activated in response to various pathogens, suggesting a previously uncharacterized role in plant immunity.
  • * Experiments showed that PCM proteins primarily localize to the plasma membrane, and overexpressing these proteins enhances resistance against both biotrophic and hemi-biotrophic pathogens while also affecting light signaling and development.

Plants growing at high densities interact via a multitude of pathways. Here, we provide an overview of mechanisms and functional consequences of plant architectural responses initiated by light cues that occur in dense vegetation. We will review the current state of knowledge about shade avoidance, as well as its possible applications.
