TLDR
Phosphorylation of transcription factors has been found to be one of the mechanisms regulating their cellular localization, DNA binding and transcription activities for defense gene activation in disease resistance genes and receptors.

Salicylic acid and disease resistance in plants

TL;DR: Although it is still unclear whether this compound can serve as a long-distance messenger signaling the presence of a pathogen, its synthesis and accumulation are important requirements for defense responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo analysis of plant promoters and transcription factors by agroinfiltration of tobacco leaves.

TL;DR: Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression is a simple and efficient method for in vivo assays of plant promoters and transcription factors and the cis-regulatory regions in these promoters that are responsive to salicylic acid treatment or tobacco mosaic virus infection are identified.

Plant cell elicitation for production of secondary metabolites: A review

TL;DR: The classification of elicitors, their mechanism of action, and applications for the production of phyto-pharmaceuticals from medicinal plants are discussed.

Pathogenesis-related proteins in plants

TL;DR: The present work focused on the response of Plant Cell Wall Hydroxyproline-Rich Glycoproteins to Microbial Pathogens and their Elicitors and the role of thionins in the Resistance of Plants.

Stress-Induced Phenylpropanoid Metabolism.

Richard A. Dixon, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1995 - 
TL;DR: Limiting discussion to stress-induced phenylpropanoids eliminates few of the structural classes, because many compounds that are constitutive in one plant species or tissue can be induced by various stresses in another species or in another tissue of the same plant.

Protein kinases and phosphatases: The Yin and Yang of protein phosphorylation and signaling

TL;DR: Although the use of PP inhibitors shows that there is significant basal PP activity in cells, it has become apparent that the activities of PPs are regulated in a sophisticated manner by a combination of targeting and regulatory subunits and by specific inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

H2O2 from the oxidative burst orchestrates the plant hypersensitive disease resistance response

TL;DR: It is reported here that H2O2 from this oxidative burst not only drives the cross-linking of cell wall structural proteins, but also functions as a local trigger of programmed death in challenged cells and as a diffusible signal for the induction in adjacent cells of genes encoding cellular protectants.

A Receptor Kinase-Like Protein Encoded by the Rice Disease Resistance Gene, Xa21

TL;DR: The rice Xa21 gene, which confers resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. race 6, was isolated by positional cloning and the sequence of the predicted protein, which carries both a leucine-rich repeat motif and a serine-threonine kinase-like domain, suggests a role in cell surface recognition of a pathogen ligand and subsequent activation of an intracellular defense response.

A receptor kinase-like protein encoded by the rice disease resistance gene, Xa21. - eScholarship

TL;DR: The sequence of the predicted protein, which carries both a leucine-rich repeat motif and a serine-threonine kinase-like domain, suggests a role in cell surface recognition of a pathogen ligand and subsequent activation of an intracellular defense response.
