Description
Huishan Qiu and a large team untangle a 2026 potato immunity pathway in which blue light, normally a growth cue, ends up helping the late-blight pathogen. A blue-light receptor called phot2 partners with a protein named NRL-30, and together they weaken resistance to Phytophthora infestans in potato and a tobacco relative. The partnership works by destroying a defender protein inside mitochondria.
That protein, PRXIIF, normally lifts resistance by switching on protective genes. NRL-30 binds it and sends it to be destroyed, a step phot2 speeds up. Blue light also speeds the breakdown and drags the pair from the cell membrane into chloroplasts. Blocking this susceptibility machinery is a candidate strategy for blight-resistant potatoes.
