An evolutionarily young defense metabolite influences the root growth of plants via the ancient TOR signaling pathway

An evolutionarily young defense metabolite influences the root growth of plants via the ancient TOR signaling pathway

To optimize fitness a plant should monitor its metabolism to appropriately control growth and defense. Primary metabolism can be measured by the universally conserved TOR (Target of Rapamycin) pathway to balance growth and development with the available energy and nutrients. Recent work suggests tha...
