Abstract excerpt
The important plant hormone salicylic acid (SA; 2-hydroxybenzoic acid) regulates several key plant responses including, most notably, defence against pathogens. A key enzyme for SA biosynthesis is isochorismate synthase (ICS), which converts chorismate into isochorismate, and for which there are two genes in Arabidopsis thaliana One (AtICS1) has been shown to be required for increased SA biosynthesis in response...
