Abstract excerpt
Myzus persicae, commonly known as green peach aphid (GPA), is a sap-sucking insect with a broad host range. Arabidopsis thaliana responds to GPA infestation with elevated expression of the PHYTOALEXIN DEFICIENT4 (PAD4) gene. Previously, we had demonstrated that the loss of PAD4 gene function compromises Arabidopsis resistance to GPA. In contrast, a mutation in the Arabidopsis SUPPRESSOR OF SALICYLIC ACID...
