TI - Brassinosteroids inhibit pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered immune signaling independent of the receptor kinase BAK1 KW - FLAGELLIN SENSING KW - BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE KW - BRI KW - ASSOCIATED KINASE KW - CROSS-TALK N2 - Plants and animals use innate immunity as a first defense against pathogens, a costly yet necessary tradeoff between growth and immunity. In Arabidopsis, the regulatory leucine-rich repeat receptor- like kinase (LRR-RLK)BAK1 combines with the LRR-RLKs FLS2 and EFR in pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered mmunity (PTI)and the LRR-RLK BRI1 in brassinosteroid (BR)- mediated growth. Therefore, a potential tradeoff between these pathways mediated by BAK1 is often postulated. Here, we show a unidirectional inhibition of FLS2-mediated immune signaling by BR perception. Unexpectedly, this effect occurred downstream or ndependently of complex formation with BAK1 and associated downstream phosphorylation. Thus, BAK1 is not rate-limiting in these pathways. BRs also inhibited signaling triggered by the BAK1-independent recognition of the fungal PAMP chitin. Our results suggest a general mechanism operative in plants in which BR-mediated growth directly antagonizes innate immune signaling UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DOOX2aI1Ygb72TdKOnkPsEOVJhH_BhF2/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
