The LBD36-PHR1-BZR1 complex integrates nitrate and phosphate signaling to regulate disease resistance in apple.
In apple, the nitrate signaling-responsive factor MdLBD36 and the phosphate signaling-responsive factor MdPHR1 recruit the transcription factor MdBZR1 to enhance its transcriptional activation of the target gene MdMYC2, thereby improving resistance to Botryosphaeria dothidea.
