TLDR
These studies suggest that pox genes are induced via different signal transduction pathways from those of other known defense-related genes.Abstract:
3Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology (CREST), Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, 101-0062 Japan ; Class III plant peroxidase (POX), a plant-specific oxidoreductase, is one of the many types of peroxidases that are widely distributed in animals, plants and microorganisms. POXs exist as isoenzymes in individual plant species, and each isoenzyme has variable amino acid sequences and shows diverse expression profiles, suggesting their involvement in various physiological processes. Indeed, studies have provided evidence that POXs participate in lignification, suberization, auxin catabolism, wound healing and defense against pathogen infection. Little, however, is known about the signal transduction for inducing expression of the pox genes. Recent studies have provided information on the regulatory mechanisms of wound- and pathogen-induced expression of some pox genes. These studies suggest that pox genes are induced via different signal transduction pathways from those of other known defense-related genes.read more

Reactive oxygen gene network of plants
TL;DR: In Arabidopsis, a network of at least 152 genes is involved in managing the level of ROS, and this network is highly dynamic and redundant, and encodes ROS-scavenging and ROS-producing proteins.

Peroxidases have more functions than a Swiss army knife
TL;DR: This review will discuss the factors that can influence this delicate balance in plant peroxidases, which can prevent biological and chemical attacks by raising physical barriers or by counterattacking with a large production of ROS.

Performing the paradoxical: how plant peroxidases modify the cell wall
TL;DR: The current understanding implicates peroxidases as key players during the whole life cycle of a plant, and particularly in cell wall modifications, in roles that can be antagonistic depending on the developmental stage.

The WRKY superfamily of plant transcription factors
TL;DR: The WRKY proteins are a superfamily of transcription factors with up to 100 representatives in Arabidopsis that appear to be involved in the regulation of various physio-logical programs that are unique to plants, including pathogen defense, senescence and trichome development.

Salicylic acid : a likely endogenous signal in the resistance response of tobacco to viral infection
TL;DR: Findings suggest that salicylic acid functions as the natural transduction signal in resistant, but not susceptible, cultivars that synthesize pathogenesis-related proteins upon infection.

Interplant communication: airborne methyl jasmonate induces synthesis of proteinase inhibitors in plant leaves.
TL;DR: The presence of methyl jasmonate in the atmosphere of chambers containing plants from three species of two families, Solanaceae and Fabaceae, results in the accumulation of proteinase inhibitors in leaves of all three species, demonstrating that interplant communication can occur from leaves of one species of plant to leaves of another species to activate the expression of defensive genes.

Oxidative burst: an early plant response to pathogen infection
TL;DR: The chemistry of ROS (superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical) is described and the role of ROS in defence responses is demonstrated, and some important issues are considered, such as: which of the ROS is a major building element of the oxidative burst.
