Cover Caption: Plants release jasmonates (JAs), a class of phytohormones, upon wounding that subsequently activate a variety of protective responses. How plants sense wounding is not known. In this issue, Zou et al. (pp.600–609) show that a gain-of-function mutation in a mechanosensitive ion channel if Arabidopsis triggers elevated JAresponses including accumulation of anthocyanin (as seen in the photo), microscopic cell death, and hyper-accumulation of JAs in response to wounding. These results suggest that perturbation of mechanosensitive ion channels is linked to perception of mechanic damage. [Detail] ...For Selected: Toggle Thumbnails
