Abstract excerpt
Arabidopsis thaliana exhibits durable resistance, called nonhost resistance, against non-adapted fungal pathogens that typically terminates pathogen entry. The PEN2-dependent indole glucosinolate metabolism pathway is involved in preventing the entry of a range of non-adapted fungi. Here, we report that ENHANCED DISEASE RESISTANCE 1 (EDR1) functions in pre-invasive nonhost resistance. Plants lacking EDR1 exhibit...
