Abstract excerpt
In plants carrying the NahG transgene, salicylate hydroxylase converts salicylic acid (SA) to catechol. Arabidopsis NahG plants are defective in non-host resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola strain 3121 (Psp), suggesting that resistance requires SA signaling. However, several mutants with defects in SA signaling, including eds1, pad4, eds5, sid2, and npr1, remain resistant to Psp, demonstrating...
