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

Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone almost exclusively associated with the promotion of
immunity. It is also known that SA has a negative impact on plant growth, yet only limited …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential plant defense hormone that promotes immunity against
biotrophic and semibiotrophic pathogens. It plays crucial roles in basal defense and the …

Salicylic acid (SA) and N-hydroxypipecolic acid (NHP) are two central plant immune signals
involved in both resistance at local sites of pathogen infection (basal resistance) and at …

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