Abstract

Plants lack immunocytes but possess tissue-specific immune responses. Recent studies by Lin et al. demonstrate that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MPK) phosphatase 1 (MKP1), a repressor of plant mesophyll immunity, positively regulates vascular immunity in both Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa, providing insights into how plants mount immune responses against vascular pathogens.
