Abstract

Phytohormones play important roles in plant immunity. Recently, Chen et al. discovered that the tomato spotted wilt virus attacks the plant hormone receptor to promote infection. Plants evolved an immune receptor to mimic the attacked hormone receptors to recognize the virus, thereby activating a robust immune response.
