In Arabidopsis, the ATL6 gene is rapidly up-regulated with the MAMPs elicitors and chitin as well as pathogen infection and control the abundance of the target protein 14-3-3 required for seedling response to carbon/nitrogen (C/N) stress and defense response (Maekawa et al., 2012; Stone, 2014). The gene discussed is YWHAQ; the disease is infection.
