Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone that has been described to play an essential role in
the activation and regulation of multiple responses to biotic and to abiotic stresses. In …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone that is best known for mediating host
responses upon pathogen infection. Its role in plant defense activation is well established …

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 …

Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to defend themselves against pathogens, and
thus a great deal of attention has been directed towards elucidating the molecular nature of …

For more than 200 years, the plant hormone salicylic acid (SA) has been studied for its
medicinal use in humans. However, its extensive signaling role in plants, particularly in …

As a plant hormone, salicylic acid (SA) plays essential roles in plant defense against
biotrophic and hemibiotrophic pathogens. Significant progress has been made in …

Plants possess an effective immune system to combat most microbial attackers. The
activation of immune responses to biotrophic pathogens requires the hormone salicylic acid …
