Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in plant development and stress acclimation. Recently, Li et al. reported that ROS production is controlled by receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase (RLCK)-mediated respiratory burst oxidase homolog D (RBOHD) phosphorylation, which subsequently regulates pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI), damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP)-triggered immunity (DTI), effector-triggered immunity (ETI), and systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants, thus enhancing our understanding of biotic stress tolerance.
Keywords: RBOHD; RIPK; RLCK; ROS; immune elicitors; multilayer plant immunity.
