Different types of EDM2-dependent regulatory modules. Based on differential effects of EDM2 and WNK8 on developmental or defense processes, three types of EDM2-dependent regulatory modules can be discriminated. A: WNK8/EDM2-dependent control of flowering time. Genetic analyses showed that WNK8 operates upstream from EDM2 counteracting the suppressing effect of EDM2 on FLC transcript levels. B: WNK8/EDM2-dependent control of vegetative growth and epidermal cell morphology. Both WNK8 and EDM2 promote these developmental processes. WNK8 may signal via EDM2 or in parallel to EDM2. C: EDM2-dependent control of early vegetative phase change and RPP7- dependent disease resistance to HpaHiks1. These processes are independent from WNK8. Disease resistance is likely mediated through regulation of RPP7 transcript levels. Additional parallel steps may also contribute to this response. A, B, C: Arrows indicate promoting effects, while "⊥" symbols indicate suppressing effects.
