Some pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in plants, such as PEPRs, sense endogenous, damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that are released during pathogen infection. In this issue of The EMBO Journal , Yamada and colleagues show that genetic or pathogen‐induced depletion of Arabidopsis BAK1, a co‐receptor for multiple PRRs, primes immune activation through PEPRs. The work illustrates a link between pathogen‐induced perturbation of BAK1 and DAMP signaling.
