Plants have developed numerous, complex defense mechanisms to escape infection by pathogens. In many cases, resistance is expressed locally and systemically in response to either necrotizing pathogens or root-colonizing soil bacteria. Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is characterized by a systemic accumulation of salicylic acid (SA) and the concomitant activation of pathogenesis-related (PR)...
