“…Among them, NHP has emerged as the most likely long‐distance signal as mutants defective in NHP biosynthesis were shown to exhibit severely compromised SAR response by independent research groups using different SAR assays (Song, Lu, McDowell, et al ., 2004; Mishina and Zeier, 2006; Jing et al ., 2011; Ding et al ., 2016). NHP biosynthetic genes and NHP are present in diverse plant species, including both monocots and dicots, suggesting that NHP could be a general signaling molecule in SAR (Holmes et al ., 2019; Schnake et al ., 2020). Furthermore, NHP was shown to accumulate in leaf phloem sap of locally inoculated cucumber, supporting a function for NHP as a phloem‐mobile SAR signal (Schnake et al ., 2020).…”
