Journal ArticleDOI
Tomato Transcription Factors Pti4, Pti5, and Pti6 Activate Defense Responses When Expressed in Arabidopsis
Yong-Qiang Gu,Mary C. Wildermuth,Suma Chakravarthy,Ying-Tsu Loh,Caimei Yang,Xiaohua He,Yu Han,Gregory B. Martin,Gregory B. Martin +8 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that Pti4, Pti5, and Pti6 activate the expression of a wide array of PR genes and play important and distinct roles in plant defense.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pti4 Is Induced by Ethylene and Salicylic Acid, and Its Product Is Phosphorylated by the Pto Kinase
Yong-Qiang Gu,Caimei Yang,Venkatappa K. Thara,Jianmin Zhou,Gregory B. Martin,Gregory B. Martin +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the Pti4 protein specifically binds the GCC-box cis element, which is present in the promoter region of many pathogenesis-related (PR) genes, and that this phosphorylation enhances binding of Pti 4 to the GCC box.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silencing of subfamily I of protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunits results in activation of plant defense responses and localized cell death.
Xiaohua He,Jeffrey C. Anderson,Jeffrey C. Anderson,Olga del Pozo,Yong-Qiang Gu,Xiaoyan Tang,Gregory B. Martin,Gregory B. Martin +7 more
TL;DR: It is reported that expression of the LePP2Ac1 gene, which encodes a catalytic subunit of the heterotrimeric protein phosphatase 2A ( PP2Ac), is rapidly induced in resistant tomato leaves upon inoculation with an avirulent strain of Pseudomonas syringae pv.
