Abstract excerpt
Salicylic acid (SA) is a key signal for the activation of defense genes in response to stress. The activation of late defense genes by SA, such as PR-1, involves the participation of the NPR1 protein. This protein acts as coactivator of the TGA factors that recognize as-1-like elements in the PR-1 promoter. Considering that functional as-1-like elements are also found in the promoter of SA- and auxin-responsive...
