Abstract excerpt
Folate-dependent one‑carbon (1C) metabolism is vital for plant development and stress responses, but its specific role in immunity remains unclear. Arabidopsis Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase 2 (MTHFR2), a prominent enzyme in 1C metabolism, is crucial in regulating methionine biosynthesis and controlling broad-spectrum immunity. Here, we show by HRMS profiling that loss-of-function mutation in MTHFR2 disturbs...
