Abstract:

Plants have evolved multilayered mechanisms against microbial pathogens. We highlight work from Wang and colleagues, demonstrating the biochemical and genetic basis of plant chemical defenses against cross-kingdom viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens, while conceptualizing a new classification system for these multifaceted resistances based on core genetic defenses.
