Abstract:The phytohormones salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) promote two, mutually antagonistic immune pathways respectively protecting plants from biotrophic pathogens and necrotrophic pathogens or insects. This trade-off largely precludes the exploitation of SA and JA immune components for crop protection, raising the interest in immune signalling components that disrupt SA-JA antagonism. A local pathogen infection primes SA-dependent immunity in systemic tissues. This so-called systemic acquired resistance … Show more
