Abstract Plant immunity frequently incurs growth penalties, which known as the trade-off between and growth. Heterosis, phenotypic superiority of a hybrid over its parents, has been demonstrated for many traits but rarely disease resistance. Here, we report that central circadian oscillator, CCA1 , confers heterosis bacterial defense in hybrids without vigor costs, it even significantly enhances under pathogen infection. The genetic perturbation abrogated both hybrids. Upon attack,...
ABSTRACT In plants, the genome structure of hybrids changes compared with their parents, but effects these in remain elusive. Comparing reciprocal crosses between Col × C24 and Arabidopsis using high‐throughput chromosome conformation capture assay (Hi‐C) analysis, we found that hybrid three‐dimensional (3D) chromatin organization had more long‐distance interactions relative to this was mainly located promoter regions enriched genes heterosis‐related pathways. The euchromatin heterochromatin...
Light is a major determinant of plant growth and survival. NONEXPRESSER OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES 1 (NPR1) acts as receptor for salicylic acid (SA) serves the key regulator SA-mediated immune responses. However, mechanisms by which plants integrate light SA signals in response to environmental changes, well role NPR1 regulating photomorphogenesis, remain poorly understood. This study shows that promotes photomorphogenesis PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4). Specifically, under blue...
