Coordinated single-nucleus responses for quantitative disease resistance involve a calcium-associated switch in transcriptional noise
These results provide evidence that stochastic cell-cell variability plays a key role in commitment to plant immunity and in the coordination of plant defense at the organ scale. Our study offers new insights into the mechanisms underlying plasticity and robustness of plant immune responses that can inform the design of strategies to reduce pathogen damage to crops in unstable environments.
