4\ We found a class of immune receptors enriched in ferns. According to the features you are looking at, they could be CC-NLRs, or potentially a new class of intracellular immune receptors. They remain to be characterized … (drop us a message if you are interested in doing that with us ⬇️) 4/4

3\ Ferns reproduce via alternance of gametophytes (💚 algae-looking tiny plants) and sporophyte (🌿dominant phase, the form we are most familiar with). For some pathogens, gametophytes are more resistant than their sporophyte. 3/4

Stories of Salicylic Acid: A Plant Defense Hormone
Salicylic acid (SA) is a key plant hormone required for establishing resistance to
many pathogens. SA biosynthesis involves two main metabolic pathways with multiple
steps: the isochorismate and the p...
