Plasma membrane (PM) depolarization functions as an initial step in plant defense signaling pathways. However, only a few ion channels/transporters have been characterized in the context of plant immunity. Here, we show that the Arabidopsis () Na:K:2Cl (NKCC) cotransporter CCC1 has a dual function in plant immunity. CCC1 functions independently of PM depolarization and negatively regulates pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered immunity. However, CCC1 positively regulates plant basal and effector-triggered resistance to pv. () DC3000. In line with the compromised immunity to DC3000, mutants show reduced expression of genes encoding enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of antimicrobial peptides, camalexin, and 4-OH-ICN, as well as pathogenesis-related proteins. Moreover, genes involved in cell wall and cuticle biosynthesis are constitutively down-regulated in mutants, and the cell walls of these mutants exhibit major changes in monosaccharide composition. The role of CCC1 ion transporter activity in the regulation of plant immunity is corroborated by experiments using the specific NKCC inhibitor bumetanide. These results reveal a function for ion transporters in immunity-related cell wall fortification and antimicrobial biosynthesis.

Background: Rice is the main food crop for much of the population in China. Therefore, selecting and breeding new disease resistance and drought tolerance in rice is essential to ensure national food security. The utilization of heterosis has significantly enhanced rice productivity, yet many of the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain largely unexplored.

Cytokinin signalling plays both positive and negative roles in plant resistance to pathogens. It is not clear whether the role of cytokinin changes at the different stages of pathogen infection. Arabidopsis thaliana sequentially exhibits distinct root morphological symptoms during Ralstonia solanacearum infection, which offers a good system to investigate function of cytokinin in the whole pathogen infection process.

The circadian clock is crucial in plant immunity and metabolism, yet the coordinating mechanisms remain elusive. In the present study, transcriptome analysis of -infected rice leaves and rhythmic analysis showed reduced amplitudes of circadian and phytochrome genes, impacting immune response, metabolic pathways, and calcium signaling. The amplitudes of pattern-triggered immunity (PTI)-related genes declined, while the rhythmicity of effector-triggered immunity (ETI)-related genes disappeared.

OsMYB1 negatively mediates rice resistance to brown planthopper and rice blight. Additionally, OsMYB1 interacts with OsSPL14 and antagonizes its function by oppositely regulating downstream resistance-related genes. In their natural habitats, plants are concurrently attacked by different biotic factors.
