Abstract: Plants under attack from pathogens can activate a series of cellular defence responses, including the production of reactive oxygen species (ROIs). One puzzle has been that the levels of these ROIs don't seem to be high enough to kill the pathogens, and two groups have now found out why. It turns out that the ROIs collaborate with nitric oxide, to form a binary switch that fine tunes the defence-response pathway.
