Plants(2026) https://doi.org/10.1038/s41477-026-02224-9 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41477-026-02224-9#citeas Stomatal immunity is a critical first barrier in plant defence, yet the organelle-level mechanisms underpinning this process remain poorly understood. Here we show that the outer mitochondrial membrane protein MIRO1 is essential for flg22-triggered stomatal closure inArabidopsis....
