The autophagy gene,<i>ATG18a</i>, plays a negative role in powdery mildew resistance and mildew-induced cell death in Arabidopsis

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is a conserved intracellular recycling system that traffics cellular organelles and cytosolic proteins within lysosomes for reuse or breakdown in eukaryotes. Increased evidence indicates that autophagy is involved in programmed cell death and disease resistance in plants. We recently showed that atg2, atg5, atg7 and atg10 displayed early senescence and cell death in later growth stage under...
