Editor’s summary
Leaves of Arabidopsis undergoing gentle mechanical stimulation induce strong resistance to the grey mould Botrytis cinerea , in a response that is independent of both tissue wounding and the major plant defense pathways.

Editor’s summary
An artificial microRNA (amiR)-mediated gene silencing system for Medicago truncatula roots sheds light on the function of MtErf 1, a putative transcription factor that is strongly induced in arbuscule-containing cells during mycorrhizal symbiosis.
