Here we identified dual actions for the RLK FERONIA (FER) in the LI response of <i>Arabidopsis</i> (<i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>). The FER cytoplasmic domain is cleaved and translocated to the nucleus (FERN) to activate LI in the TZ and EZ in response to colonization by beneficial and pathogenic bacteria. In the absence or cessation of bacterial infection, full-length FER is plasma membrane-localized to maintain growth. Upon colonization and invasion by a high titre of bacteria, mature RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR23 peptide accumulates and activates the matrix metalloproteinase At2-MMP, which triggers FER cytoplasmic domain cleavage specifically in the TZ and EZ to activate LI.

However, the processes mediating WOX5 function are only poorly understood. Here we identify the transcription factor HAN as a central mediator of WOX5-regulated stem cell maintenance. <i>HAN</i> is required for mitotic quiescence of QC and CSC maintenance and is sufficient to induce ectopic stem cells.

Consequently, mutant plants lacking SBT5.2a activity retain higher levels of csp22, leading to enhanced immune responses and reduced pathogen growth. SBT5.2 sensitivity is influenced by sequence variation surrounding the cleavage site and probably extends to CSPs from other bacterial species.
