Figure 9

A proposed model for BR-mediated virus resistance. BSK1 is activated by BRs through BRI1, thus leads to activation of downstream signaling.

On the one hand, activated BSK1 induces MEK2-SIPK cascade, which in turn activates RBOHB-dependent oxidative burst. Thus enhance plant resistance to virus. On the other hand, BRs activates BES1/BZR1 through BR signaling pathway, activated BES1/BZR1 inhibits RBOHB-dependent ROS production and promote plant growth. The growth-immunity trade-off depends on the relative accumulation of BES1/BZR1 induced by BRs.
