New paper on lipid signaling in plant immunity published in Plant Physiology

Flagellin perception is a keystone of pattern-triggered immunity in plants. In this paper we described a role for Arabidopsis DIACYLGLYCEROL KINASE 5 (DGK5) in the flagellin signaling cascade and demonstrate that the activation of DGK5 during plant-microbe recognition is required for an appropriate immune response.
