Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidic acid (PA) functions as a cell membrane component and signaling molecule in plants. PA metabolism has multiple routes, in one of which PA is converted into cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG) by CDP-DAG synthases (CDSs). CDS genes are highly conserved in plants. Here, we found that knock-down of the CDS gene enhanced the resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana to multiple pathogens, with a growth...
