Journal ArticleDOI

Concomitant activation of jasmonate and ethylene response pathways is required for induction of a plant defensin gene in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: It is concluded that both the ethylene and jasmonate signaling pathways need to be triggered concomitantly, and not sequentially, to activate PDF1.2 upon pathogen infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathogen-induced systemic activation of a plant defensin gene in Arabidopsis follows a salicylic acid-independent pathway.

TL;DR: The results indicate that systemic pathogen-induced expression of the plant defensin gene in Arabidopsis is independent of salicylic acid but requires components of the ethylene and jasmonic acid response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Of PAMPs and Effectors: The Blurred PTI-ETI Dichotomy

TL;DR: It is argued that plant resistance is determined by immune receptors that recognize appropriate ligands to activate defense, the amplitude of which is likely determined by the level required for effective immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary: biology and molecular traits of a cosmopolitan pathogen.

TL;DR: This review summarizes current knowledge of mechanisms employed by the fungus to parasitize its host with emphasis on biology, physiology and molecular aspects of pathogenicity.
