Nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1 (NPR1) was discovered in Arabidopsis as
an activator of salicylic acid (SA)-mediated immune responses nearly 30 years ago. How …

Growth–defense tradeoffs are thought to occur in plants due to resource restrictions, which
demand prioritization towards either growth or defense, depending on external and internal …

The NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES 1 (NPR1) and related
NPR1-like proteins are a functionally similar, yet surprisingly diverse family of transcription …

Bacteria that colonize plant roots and promote plant growth are referred to as plant growth-
promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR are highly diverse and in this review we focus on …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a key plant hormone required for establishing resistance to many
pathogens. SA biosynthesis involves two main metabolic pathways with multiple steps: the …

Plant diseases reduce crop yields and threaten global food security, making the selection of
disease-resistant cultivars a major goal of crop breeding. Broad-spectrum resistance (BSR) …

Plants possess an effective immune system to combat most microbial attackers. The
activation of immune responses to biotrophic pathogens requires the hormone salicylic acid …

Plants can be primed for more rapid and robust activation of defence to biotic or abiotic
stress. Priming follows perception of molecular patterns of microbes or plants, recognition of …

Plants cannot move to escape environmental challenges. Biotic stresses result from a
battery of potential pathogens: fungi, bacteria, nematodes and insects intercept the …

Background NPR1, nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related gene 1, is a master regulator
involved in plant defense response to pathogens, and its regulatory mechanism in the …
