LUX ARRHYTHMO mediates crosstalk between the circadian clock and defense in Arabidopsis
Abstract
Circadian control of plant defence likely reflects plants’ ability to coordinate development and defense. Here, Zhang et al. show that LUX regulates stomatal defense and SA/JA signaling, leading to broad-spectrum disease resistance, and that JA signaling can, in turn, regulate clock activity.
