Systemic acquired resistance (SAR), initiated by a plant upon recognition of microbial effectors, involves the generation of mobile signals at the primary infection site, which translocate to and activate defense responses in distal tissues. Among the signals contributing to SAR include salicylic acid (SA), nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), and pipecolic acid (Pip). Our previous studies show there are two branches of SAR signaling pathways in Arabidopsis: one regulated by NO/ROS-G3P and the other by SA. Both NO/ROS-G3P and SA-mediated signaling branches function in parallel during SAR. To better understand the role of Pip in SAR …
