It is a chapter from a book titled " Plant Hormone Signalling Systems in Plant Innate Immunity" by P. Vidyasekaran. I am unable to provide the pdf copy of the book.
thanks . I read the chapter of book titled " Plant Hormone Signalling Systems in Plant Innate Immunity" by P. Vidyasekaran. concerning SA and other hormons, a good information, is it a usfule way in nature to stimulate plants SAR?
SAR can be activated by a number of molecules, e.g. methyl salicylate, methyl jasmonate, pipecolic acid, azelaic acid, dehydroabietinal, glycerol-3-phosphate and more. But I'm not sure if SAR is enaugh to protect plants against viruses efficiently. It leads to synthesis of molecules that strengthens cell wall, like callose, and regulates stomatal movements, which of course can be helpful, but still in my opinion main antiviral mechanisms in plants are associated more with small RNAs than hormonal control.
There are several research articles available, indicating the role of Salicylic acid in virus resistance. Specially, the viruses recognized by R genes. The R gene signals various layers of defense as mentioned by Julia and SA pathway is one of them. Recently, researchers have shown an interaction of hormonal defense and RNAi pathway. If, you need I can send you the links of those articles.
Thanks, already my lecture to the student about RNAi and all hormone, the course molecular biology in plant protection, if you have article about applying those hormones in the field to get resistance to plant viruses, or still only in lab. research.
