Abstract excerpt
An Arabidopsis thaliana mutant, esa1, that shows enhanced susceptibility to the necrotrophic pathogens Alternaria brassicicola, Botrytis cinerea and Plectosphaerella cucumerina, but has wild-type levels of resistance to the biotrophic pathogens Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato and Peronospora parasitica. The enhanced susceptibility towards necrotrophic pathogens correlated with a delayed induction of phytoalexin...
