Cytokinins are essential plant hormones that control almost every aspect of plant growth and development. Their function in mediating plant susceptibility to fungal biotrophs and gall-causing pathogens is well known. Here we highlight the interaction between cytokinins and salicylic acid pathways. Furthermore, we discuss ways in which cytokinin signaling could crosstalk with plant immune networks. Some of these networks are modulated by pathogens to propagate disease, whereas others help the host to mitigate an infection.
细胞分裂素是植物激素中的重要一员，几乎控制着植物生长和发育的各个方面。人们熟知其在调节植物对真菌活体营养生物和瘿瘤病原物的易感性方面的功能。在此，我们重点讨论细胞分裂素与水杨酸途径之间的相互作用。此外，我们还探讨了细胞分裂素信号转导与植物免疫网络相互作用的方式。其中一些网络被病原体调节以促进疾病传播，而另一些则帮助宿主减轻感染。
