The complexity of disease signaling in Arabidopsis.
Not more than 10 years ago it was generally accepted that pathogen-inducible defense mechanisms in plants are triggered through a central signaling cascade that regulates a multicomponent defense response. Now we know that the plant defense system is regulated through a complex network of various signaling cascades.
