Constitutive expression of ETHYLENE-RESPONSE-FACTOR1 in Arabidopsis confers resistance to several necrotrophic fungi

TL;DR: The role of ETHYLENE-RESPONSE-FACTOR1 (ERF1) as a regulator of ethylene responses after pathogen attack in Arabidopsis is described, suggesting negative crosstalk between E and SA signaling pathways, and demonstrating that positive and negative interactions between both pathways can be established depending on the type of pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impairment of Cellulose Synthases Required for Arabidopsis Secondary Cell Wall Formation Enhances Disease Resistance

TL;DR: Comparative transcriptomic analyses identified a set of common irx upregulated genes, including a number of abscisic acid (ABA)–responsive, defense-related genes encoding antibiotic peptides and enzymes involved in the synthesis and activation of antimicrobial secondary metabolites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ethylene response factor 1 mediates Arabidopsis resistance to the soilborne fungus Fusarium oxysporum

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that ERF1 also mediates Arabidopsis resistance to the soilborne fungi Fusarium oxysporum sp. sp. conglutinans and F. oxyspora f. lycopersici.
Journal ArticleDOI

Snakin-2, an Antimicrobial Peptide from Potato Whose Gene Is Locally Induced by Wounding and Responds to Pathogen Infection

TL;DR: Observations are congruent with the hypothesis that the StSN2 is a component of both constitutive and inducible defense barriers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss-of-function mutations in chitin responsive genes show increased susceptibility to the powdery mildew pathogen Erysiphe cichoracearum.

TL;DR: The isolation of loss-of-function mutants with enhanced disease susceptibility provides direct evidence that the chito-octamer is an important oligosaccharide elicitor of plant defenses, and demonstrates the value of microarray data for identifying new components of uncharacterized signaling pathways.
