Requirement of Salicylic Acid for the Induction of Systemic Acquired Resistance
Thomas Gaffney,Leslie Friedrich,Bernard Vernooij,David Vincent Negrotto,Gordon Nye,Scott Uknes,Eric R. Ward,Helmut Kessmann,John Ryals +8 more
TL;DR: Salicylic acid is essential for the development of systemic acquired resistance in tobacco and was investigated in transgenic tobacco plants harboring a bacterial gene encoding salicylate hydroxylase.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Central Role of Salicylic Acid in Plant Disease Resistance
Terrence P. Delaney,Scott Uknes,Bernard Vernooij,Leslie Friedrich,Kris Weymann,David Vincent Negrotto,Thomas Gaffney,Manuela Gut-Rella,Helmut Kessmann,Eric R. Ward,John Ryals +10 more
TL;DR: Transgenic tobacco and Arabidopsis thaliana expressing the bacterial enzyme salicylate hydroxylase cannot accumulate salicylic acid, which makes the plants unable to induce systemic acquired resistance, but also leads to increased susceptibility to viral, fungal, and bacterial pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coordinate Gene Activity in Response to Agents That Induce Systemic Acquired Resistance.
Eric R. Ward,Scott Uknes,Williams Shericca Cherrer,Sandra Dincher,Deanna L. Wiederhold,Danny C. Alexander,Patricia Ahl-Goy,Jean-Pierre Métraux,John Ryals +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the onset of SAR correlates with the coordinate induction of nine classes of mRNAs, consistent with the hypothesis that induced resistance results at least partially from coordinate expression of these SAR genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acquired resistance in Arabidopsis.
Scott Uknes,Brigitte Mauch-Mani,Mary B. Moyer,Potter Sharon L,Williams Shericca Cherrer,Sandra Dincher,Danielle Chandler,Alan Slusarenko,Eric R. Ward,John Ryals +9 more
TL;DR: Arabidopsis, a tractable genetic system, is shown to develop resistance to a bacterial and a fungal pathogen following 2,6-dichloroisonicotinic acid (INA) treatment and three proteins that accumulated to high levels in the apoplast in response to INA treatment were purified and characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systemic Acquired Resistance
TL;DR: This review provides a brief history of SAR research, discusses recent findings that indicate a central role for the SAR pathway in plant health and presents the current working model of SAR induction.
