Author(s): Min Gab Kim*, Donah Mary Macoy, Jong-Yeol Lee and Joon-Yung Cha
Plants respond and adapt to their environment for survival and reproduction. Plant growth, development and
fitness are important factors affecting crop production and food security. Plants have evolved inducible defenses
in response to biotic and abiotic stresses regulated by temperature, light and circadian rhythm. Activation of
plant immune signals against particular pathogen infection is a securely controlled mechanism wherein defense
responses are specifically turned on upon recognition of pathogen. As a result, adverse effects on plant growth and
development can be controlled and minimized. It remains elusive how interactions between plants and pathogens
operate the immune signaling responses in relation to environmental fluctuations. This paper summarizes recent
studies demonstrating the interactions between plant innate immunity, temperature, light and cir.. Read More»
