The AcMYB15-AcWRKY24 module coordinates lignin and salicylic acid accumulation during kiwifruit resistance to bacterial canker.

Plants coordinate phenylpropanoid metabolism across different tissues to defend against pathogens, but the underlying transcriptional mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identify the kiwifruit transcription factor AcMYB15 as a regulator that lignin deposition and salicylic acid (...
