Molecular mechanism of salicylic acid-induced abiotic stress tolerance in higher plants

Penicillium–sesame interactions: A remedy for mitigating high salinity stress effects on primary and defense metabolites in plants

“…Plant-microbe interactions affect SA expression in a range of crop plants (Kang et al, 2014a;Radhakrishnan et al, 2013a). Although, the molecular aspects of SA-induced biotic stress tolerance has been studied, very little information is available on the role of SA in abiotic stresses (Kang et al, 2014b). The present results indicated that the higher accumulation of SA in saltstressed sesame plants than in non-stressed ones might be due to the stimulation of benzoic acid 2-hydroxylase, an enzyme involved in SA biosynthesis (Sawada et al, 2006).…”

Overexpression of a novel SbMYB15 from Salicornia brachiata confers salinity and dehydration tolerance by reduced oxidative damage and improved photosynthesis in transgenic tobacco

“…SA plays an important role in abiotic stress-induced signalling by improving the antioxidant capacity of the plant (Kang et al 2014). The SbMYB15 transcript .…”

NPR1-dependent salicylic acid signaling is not involved in elevated CO2-induced heat stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

“…Elevated CO 2 might stimulate cellular redox homeostasis and MAPK activity and thus ameliorate HS through NPR1-independent process in npr1-1 and npr1-5 mutants. 7,8,10,11 HSPs protect various important proteins from irreversible heat-induced damage through preventing denaturation as well as assisting the refolding of damaged protein. 1,4,9 The inability of hsp21 and hsp70-1 to produce respective proteins aggravated HS-induced damage to photosynthetic apparatus (Fig.…”
