Salicylic acid (SA) is an active secondary metabolite that occurs in bacteria, fungi, and
plants. SA and its derivatives (collectively called salicylates) are synthesized from …

In some bacteria, salicylate is synthesized using the enzymes isochorismate synthase and
isochorismate pyruvate lyase. In contrast, gene inactivation and complementation …

Salicylic acid (SA) is probably one of the best known natural products, because of its acetyl-
derivative, the widely used drug, aspirin [1]. Surprisingly, until recently there was very little …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important phytohormone mediating both local and systemic defense
responses in plants. Despite over half a century of research, how plants biosynthesize SA …

Salicylic acid (SA) plays a central role as a signalling molecule involved in plant defense
against microbial attack. Genetic manipulation of SA biosynthesis may therefore help to …

Salicylic acid is an important regulator of induced plant resistance to pathogens.
Consequently, the biosynthesis of salicylic acid and its regulation has received a lot of …

Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to regulate various aspects of growth and development;
it also serves as a critical signal for activating disease resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana and …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a phytohormone best known for its role in plant defense. It is
synthesized in response to diverse pathogens and responsible for the large scale …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important signal molecule in plants. Two pathways of SA
biosynthesis have been proposed in plants. Biochemical studies using isotope feeding have …

Salicylic acid decarboxylase (Sdc) can produce salicylic acid from phenol; it was found in
the yeast Trichosporon moniliiforme WU-0401 and was for the first time enzymatically …
