Molecular study demonstrates that the MdLBD36–MdPHR1–MdBZR1 complex enhances MdMYC2 activation to fight Botryosphaeria dothidea in apple, indicating linked nutrient-immunity pathways.
In apple, the nitrate signaling-responsive factor MdLBD36 and the phosphate signaling-responsive factor MdPHR1 recruit the transcription factor MdBZR1 to enhance its transcriptional activation of the target gene MdMYC2, thereby improving resistance to Botryosphaeria dothidea.
