摘要: Tissues contributing most to plant fitness, such as younger leaves and flowers, are often the best defended: a prediction of optimal defense theory (OD). The mechanisms determining optimal distributions are poorly understood. We show that a MYB transcription factor co-regulates biosynthetically unrelated defenses which share an optimal distribution.
