The plant immune system encompasses an arsenal of defense genes that is activated upon
recognition of a pathogen. Appropriate adjustment of gene expression is mediated by …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a key regulator for the induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR),
and NPR1 is a critical mediator for the biological effects of SA. Physical interactions between …

Abstract In higher plants, as-1-like cis elements mediate auxin-and salicylic acid-inducible
transcription. Originally found in viral and T-DNA promoters, they are also functional …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a crucial internal signaling molecule needed for the induction of plant
defense responses upon attack of a variety of pathogens. Basic leucine zipper transcription …

The TGA genes encode a family of basic domain-leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors
that are conserved in higher plants. We have continued to unravel the complexity of this …

Xenobiotic chemicals induce the expression of nuclear detoxification genes. A full
understanding of this protective response will require characterization of its transcriptional …

The plant immune system is a complex network of components that function together to
sense the presence and activity of potential biotic threats, and integrate these signals into an …

TGA transcription factors are implicated as regulators of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes
because of their physical interaction with the known positive regulator, nonexpresser of PR …

Transcriptional reprogramming during induction of salicylic acid (SA)-mediated defenses is
regulated primarily by NPR1 (NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES …

Efforts to elucidate the contributions by transcription factors to plant gene expression will
require increasing knowledge of their specific in vivo regulatory associations. We are …
