This study shows that acclimation to high daily temperature fluctuations in Arabidopsis thaliana reduces disease resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by altering gene expression and immune regulatory networks.

The paper analyzes gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to show that neutral transcriptome rewiring enables evolvable quantitative disease resistance.

The paper investigates the genomic and regulatory mechanisms of quantitative disease resistance in wild tomato species, finding that species-specific regulatory features, not conserved modules, drive resistance against a necrotrophic pathogen.

This study identifies MIK2 as a key component of the RKS1-mediated quantitative disease resistance to Xanthomonas campestris in Arabidopsis through protein interaction and mutant analysis.
