  "summary": "Plants perceive N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), the quorum-sensing signals of rhizobacteria, and can translate them into a primed state of enhanced inducible immunity. Whether this perception-to-defense translation varies heritably among genotypes is largely unknown. Using soybean (Glycine max) responses to N-3-oxo-tetradecanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (oxo-C14-HSL), with root invasion by the…",
