Green tissue-specific expression of Arabidopsis thaliana NPR1 is an effective strategy for controlling the sheath blight pathogen (Rhizoctonia solani) in rice. The present work in rice can be extended to other crop plants severely damaged by the pathogen.
The results revealed a tight correlation between sequential salicylic acid (SA) and sic acid (ABA) signaling and dynamic changes in NPR1 protein levels and NPR1-dependent transcription in plant immune responses.
Altogether our results indicate that AR156 can induce SAR by the SA-signaling pathways in an NPR1-dependent manner and involves multiple PTI components.
