Abstract

Appropriate spatiotemporal regulation of immune gene expression triggered by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) is critical for defense against pathogens. Thieffry et al. recently found that PAMP-triggered widespread alternative transcription initiation and an immediate transcription factor wave are elements of immune gene reprogramming.

Keywords: Arabidopsis thaliana; alternative transcription start sites; gene expression regulation; innate immunity.
