Salicylic acid (SA) is an important phytohormone that plays a vital role in a number of
physiological responses, including plant defense. The last two decades have witnessed a …

Abstract Salicylic acid (SA) or 2-hydroxybenoic acid is a phenolic plant hormone that plays
an essential role in plant defense against biotrophic and semi-biotrophic pathogens. In …

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 …

We reported previously that overexpression of a salicylic acid (SA) methyltransferase1 gene
from rice (OsBSMT1) or a SA glucosyltransferase1 gene from Arabidopsis thaliana …

Salicylic acid is a crucial plant hormone involved defence responses against biotrophic
pathogens. This thesis aimed to induce a defence response against the soil-borne biotroph …

Abscisic acid (ABA) has been implicated in determining the outcome of interactions between
many plants and their pathogens. We had previously shown that increased concentrations of …

Attacks of plants by necrotizing pathogens leads to local defense reactions and may induce
subsequent long-lasting resistance, defined as systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is an evolutionarily conserved defense mechanism
induced in the distal parts of plants after a locally restricted primary infection (Fu and Dong …

Salicylic acid (SA) plays an important role in plant defense. Its role in plant disease
resistance is well documented for dicotyledonous plants, where it is required for basal …

There is no doubt that the salicylic acid (SA) plays an important role in plant defence against
pathogens attacks. According to the established opinion, SA induces the systemic acquired …
