Description
Jing Shang and co-authors study in a study dated 2025 in its head how soybean plants trade growth for defense under light and shade. Small RNAs steer where the plant sends phosphorus, a key food for growth. One such RNA weakens wall-based defense and lets a mosaic virus build up in full light.
A second RNA boosts defense by holding phosphorus in the leaves. In shade, though, the plant moves phosphorus to its roots, starving the shoots. Walls then fail to harden even when the weak spot is fixed. Adding phosphorus restored the walls and curbed the virus, which showed that supply, not signals alone, set the limit.
