Abstract excerpt
The enhanced disease resistance 1 (edr1) mutation of Arabidopsis confers resistance to powdery mildew disease caused by the fungus Erysiphe cichoracearum.

Double mutant analysis revealed that all edr1-associated phenotypes are suppressed by mutations that block salicylic acid (SA)...
