Genes controlling expression of defense responses in Arabidopsis — 2001 status

摘要: In the past two years, focus of studies genes controlling expression defense responses in Arabidopsis has shifted from identification mutants to gene isolation and ordering within branches signal transduction networks. It is now clear that gene-for-gene resistance can be mediated through at least three genetically distinguishable pathways. Additional affecting salicylic-acid-dependent signaling have been identified, double-mutant analyses begun reveal order which they act. Genes required for jasmonic-acid-dependent induced systemic also identified.
