Researchers highlight ferroptosis's dual roles in plant immunity
Summary
When plants encounter pathogens, they can defend themselves by rapidly killing infected cells to restrict pathogen spread. This immune response, known as the hypersensitive response (HR), was first described in 1915. However, the molecular mechanism underlying HR cell death remained poorly understood for more than a century.
