Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins play important roles in responding to biotic and abiotic
stresses in plants. However, the molecular mechanisms of plant resistance to pathogens …

Folates are essential for one‐carbon transfer reactions in all organisms and contribute, for
example, to de novo DNA synthesis. Here, we detected the folate precursors 7, 8 …

Salicylic acid (SA) is synthesised by plants in response to challenge by a diverse range of
phytopathogens and is essential to the establishment of both local and systemic-acquired …

Abstract Key Message Using disease bioassays and transcriptomic analysis we show that
intact SA-signalling is required for potato defences against the necrotrophic fungal pathogen …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a state of heightened defense to a broad spectrum of
pathogens that is activated throughout a plant following local infection. Development of SAR …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a highly desirable form of resistance that protects
against a broad-spectrum of related or unrelated pathogens. SAR involves the generation of …

The destructive illness powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera aphanis, reduces
strawberry yield. However, the mechanism through which exogenous salicylic acid can …

Localized infection in plants often induces systemic acquired resistance (SAR), which
provides long-term protection against subsequent infections. A signal originating in the SAR …

Salicylic acid (SA) plays a key role in plant resistance to pathogens. Accumulation of SA is
induced by wounding in tobacco plants in which the expression of WIPK and SIPK, two …

Heterosis, the phenotypic superiority of a hybrid over its parents, has been demonstrated for
many traits in Arabidopsis thaliana, but its effect on defence remains largely unexplored …
