We reported previously that a recombinant salicylic acid (SA) glucosyltransferase1 (AtSGT1)
from Arabidopsis thaliana catalyzes the formation of both SA 2-O-β-d-glucoside (SAG) and …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a state of heightened defense which is induced
throughout a plant by an initial infection; it provides long-lasting, broad-spectrum resistance …

The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) is known to regulate plant immunity against
pathogens. Plants synthesize SA via the isochorismate synthase (ICS) pathway or the …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR), a whole plant defense response to a broad spectrum of
pathogens, is characterized by a coordinated expression of a large number of defense …

Brassica oleracea var. capitata (cabbage) is an important vegetable crop in Asian countries
such as Korea, China, and Japan. Cabbage production is severely affected by clubroot …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a key plant hormone required for establishing resistance to many
pathogens. SA biosynthesis involves two main metabolic pathways with multiple steps: the …

Salicylic acid (SA) plays important roles in the induction of systemic acquired resistance
(SAR) in plants. Determining the mechanism of SAR will extend our understanding of plant …

Isochorismate synthase (ICS) plays an essential role in the accumulation of salicylic acid
(SA) and plant disease resistance. Diseases caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea affect …

Two signal molecules, salicylic acid (SA) and N-hydroxypipecolic acid (NHP), play critical
roles in plant immunity. The biosynthetic genes of both compounds are positively regulated …

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 …
