    Plant perception of β-aminobutyric acid is mediated by an aspartyl-tRNA synthetase

    β-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) is a small-molecule activator of plant disease resistance. Binding of (R)-BABA to IBI1—an aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (AspRS)—primes noncanonical defense pathways, resulting in broad-spect...
