Fig 7. Model illustrating joint effects of EDM2, EDM3 and IBM2 on basal immunity and growth.

Fig 7

A. In wild type Arabidopsis, EDM2, EDM3 and IBM2 suppress SA-dependent basal immunity. This effect is at least partially mediated by their promoting effect on expression of the full-length IBM1 isoform IBM1L. Reduced basal immunity has a promoting effect on plant growth. B. In single mutants of EDM2, EDM3 or IBM2, SA-dependent basal defense responses are de-repressed resulting in reduced plant growth. The increase if SA-dependent basal immunity is at least partially due to reduced levels of IBM1L.
