TL;DR: Dehydroabietinal (DA), an abietane diterpenoid, is an activator of systemic acquired resistance (SAR), which is an inducible defense mechanism that is activated in the distal, non-colonized, organs of a plant that has experienced a local foliar infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salicylic Acid Regulates Basal Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in Wheat
TL;DR: It is shown that increased accumulation of SA in fungus-infected spikes correlated with elevated expression of the SA-inducible pathogenesis-related 1 (PR1) gene and FHB resistance, and that jasmonate signaling has a dichotomous role in wheat interaction with F. graminearum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of salicylate and jasmonate signaling pathways in Arabidopsis interaction with Fusarium graminearum.
Ragiba Makandar,Vamsi J. Nalam,Ratnesh Chaturvedi,Richard Jeannotte,Alexis A. Sparks,Jyoti Shah +5 more
TL;DR: Genetic and biochemical experiments indicate that the JA pathway promotes disease by attenuating the activation of SA signaling in fungus-inoculated plants, but the hypersusceptibility of the jar1 npr1 double mutant compared with the nPR1 mutant suggests that JAR1 also contributes to defense, signifying a dichotomous role of JA and a JAR2-dependent mechanism in this interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant defense against aphids, the pest extraordinaire.
TL;DR: The progress made on identifying molecular factors and mechanisms that contribute to host defense, including plant resistance genes and signaling components, as well as aphid-derived effectors that elicit or attenuate host defenses are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Map-based analysis of genes affecting the brittle rachis character in tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L.).
Vamsi J. Nalam,Vamsi J. Nalam,M. Isabel Vales,Christy J. W. Watson,Shahryar F. Kianian,Oscar Riera-Lizarazu +5 more
TL;DR: Estimates indicated that the cloning of Br-A2 andBr-A3 using map-based methods would be extremely challenging.
