Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis thaliana NPR1 gene is required for salicylic acid (SA)-induced expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes and systemic acquired resistance. However, loss-of-function mutations in NPR1 do not confer complete loss of PR gene expression or disease resistance. Thus these responses also can be activated via an NPR1-independent pathway that currently remain to be elucidated. The ssi2-1 mutant,...
