Abstract
Plant stomata open in response to blue light, allowing gas exchange and water transpiration. However, open stomata are potential entry points for pathogens. Whether plants can sense pathogens and mount defense responses upon stomatal opening and how blue-light cues are integrated to balance growth-defense trade-offs are poorly characterized. We show that the Arabidopsis blue-light photoreceptor CRYPTOCHROME 1 (CRY1) mediates various aspects of immunity, including pathogen-triggered stomatal closure as well as activation of plant immunity through a typical light-responsive protein LATE UPREGULATED IN RESPONSE TO HYALOPERONOSPORA PARASITICA (LURP1). LURP1 undergoes N-terminal palmitoylation in the presence of bacterial flagellin, prompting a change in subcellular localization from the cytoplasm to plasma membrane, where it enhances the activity of the receptor FLAGELLIN SENSING 2 (FLS2) to mediate plant defense. Collectively, these findings reveal that blue light regulates stomatal defense and highlight the dual functions of CRY1 in photosynthesis and immunity.
期刊介绍:
Cell Host & Microbe is a scientific journal that was launched in March 2007. The journal aims to provide a platform for scientists to exchange ideas and concepts related to the study of microbes and their interaction with host organisms at a molecular, cellular, and immune level. It publishes novel findings on a wide range of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. The journal focuses on the interface between the microbe and its host, whether the host is a vertebrate, invertebrate, or plant, and whether the microbe is pathogenic, non-pathogenic, or commensal. The integrated study of microbes and their interactions with each other, their host, and the cellular environment they inhabit is a unifying theme of the journal. The published work in Cell Host & Microbe is expected to be of exceptional significance within its field and also of interest to researchers in other areas. In addition to primary research articles, the journal features expert analysis, commentary, and reviews on current topics of interest in the field.
