At the intersection of plant growth and immunity

Cell Host Microbe. 2014 Apr 9;15(4):400-2. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2014.03.014.

Abstract

The tradeoff between growth and immunity is regulated by integrating hormonal cues, biotic signals, and developmental programs, and is fine-tuned to maximize organismal growth and survival. Four recent papers, including Chandran et al. (2014) in this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, provide insights into the underlying mechanisms in plants.
