Mechanosensory trichome cells evoke a mechanical stimuli–induced immune response in plants
2021-06-14
Abstract excerpt
Perception of pathogen-derived ligands by corresponding host receptors is a pivotal strategy in eukaryotic innate immunity. In plants, this is complemented by circadian anticipation of infection timing, promoting basal resistance even in the absence of pathogen threat. Here, we report that trichomes, hair-like structures on the epidermis, directly sense external mechanical forces caused by raindrops to anticipate...
