Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: PAE8 and PAE9 double mutants reduce auxin concentration and enhance Arabidopsis thaliana resistance in a pathogen-dependent manner. Pectin O-acetylation is a key plant cell wall modification that influences developmental processes and stress responses. pectin acetylesterases (PAEs) are cell wall-modifying enzymes that are responsible for removing the acetyl group from pectin. In this study, we...
