Main conclusion Cotton S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase-, rather than spermine
synthase-, mediated spermine biosynthesis is required for salicylic acid-and leucine …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a long-lasting plant immunity against a broad
spectrum of pathogens. Biological induction of SAR requires the signal molecule salicylic …

The obligate biotrophic pathogen P lasmodiophora brassicae causes clubroot disease in A
rabidopsis thaliana, which is characterized by large root galls. Salicylic acid (SA) production …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a form of inducible resistance that is triggered in
systemic healthy tissues of locally infected plants. The nature of the mobile signal that travels …

Systemic resistance is induced by pathogens and confers protection against a broad range
of pathogens. Recent studies have indicated that salicylic acid (SA) derivative methyl …

Recent studies have indicated that the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA), induced in
response to a variety of environmental stresses, plays an important role in modulating …

Volatile methyl esters are common constituents of plant volatiles with important functions in
plant defense. To study the biosynthesis of these compounds, especially methyl anthranilate …

Any interaction of plants with phytopathogens involves the generation of various chemical
molecules that are critical for activation of their defense machinery. One of the chemicals …

We investigated the relationships of the two immune-regulatory plant metabolites, salicylic
acid (SA) and pipecolic acid (Pip), in the establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance …

Plants can retain the memory of a prior encounter with a pest. This memory confers upon a
plant the ability to subsequently activate defenses more robustly when challenged by a pest …
