Salicylic acid (SA) is a key defense signal molecule against biotrophic and hemibiotrophic
pathogens in plants, but how SA is synthesized in plant cells still remains elusive …

Properly coordinated defense signaling networks are critical for the fitness of plants. One
hub of the defense networks is centered on salicylic acid (SA), which plays a key role in …

Background Salicylic acid (SA) is a key defense signal molecule against biotrophic
pathogens in plants. Quantification of SA levels in plants is critical for dissecting the SA …

Highlights•Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant defense hormone with critical roles in PTI, ETI and
SAR.•Induction of SA synthesis is orchestrated via complex transcriptional regulation of …

The Arabidopsis NPR1 gene was previously shown to be required for the salicylic acid (SA)–
and benzothiadiazole (BTH)-induced expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes and …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a key defense molecule in higher plants that is required for resistance
to diverse pathogens. A number of mutants of Arabidopsis with elevated resistance to …

The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) has a crucial role in plant physiology. Its role is best
described in the context of plant response to pathogen attack. During infection, SA is rapidly …

Background Salicylic acid (SA) is a major plant hormone that mediates the defence pathway
against pathogens. SA accumulates in highly variable amounts depending on the plant …

Plant Biotechnology 21(5), 319–335 (2004) Page 1 Salicylic acid (SA) that was named after
Salix plant (willow), was first discovered as a major component in the extracts from willow …

The small phenolic compound salicylic acid (SA) is critical for plant defense against a broad
spectrum of pathogens and responses to different abiotic stress conditions. Particularly in …
