Abstract excerpt
The molecular interactions between Arabidopsis and the pathogenic powdery mildew Golovinomyces cichoracearum were studied by characterizing a disease-resistant Arabidopsis mutant atg2-2. The atg2-2 mutant showed enhanced resistance to powdery mildew and dramatic mildew-induced cell death as well as early senescence phenotypes in the absence of pathogens. Defense-related genes were constitutively activated in...
