Journal ArticleDOI

Active oxygen species in the induction of plant systemic acquired resistance by salicylic acid

TL;DR: Salicylic acid specifically inhibited the catalase activity in vitro and induced an increase in H2O2 concentrations in vivo, suggesting involvement in SA-mediated induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of woodland strawberry ( Fragaria vesca )

- 01 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: New phylogenetic analysis of 154 protein-coding genes suggests that assignment of Populus to Malvidae, rather than Fabidae, is warranted, and macrosyntenic relationships between Fragaria and Prunus predict a hypothetical ancestral Rosaceae genome that had nine chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The high-quality draft genome of peach ( Prunus persica ) identifies unique patterns of genetic diversity, domestication and genome evolution

TL;DR: Comparisons showed that peach has not undergone recent whole-genome duplication, and even though the ancestral triplicated blocks in peach are fragmentary compared to those in grape, all seven paleosets of paralogs from the putative paleoancestor are detectable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitric oxide and salicylic acid signaling in plant defense.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increases in NO synthase (NOS)-like activity occurred in resistant but not susceptible tobacco after infection with tobacco mosaic virus, and this increase in activity participates in PR-1 gene induction.
Journal ArticleDOI

NPR1 differentially interacts with members of the TGA/OBF family of transcription factors that bind an element of the PR-1 gene required for induction by salicylic acid.

TL;DR: The results directly link NPR1 to SA-induced PR-1 expression through members of the TGA family of transcription factors through the interaction of NPR1 with TGA2 and TGA3.
