Enhanced Resistance of <i>atbzip62</i> against <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> pv. <i>tomato</i> Suggests Negative Regulation of Plant Basal Defense and Systemic Acquired Resistance by <i>AtbZIP62</i> Transcription Factor

The intrinsic defense mechanisms of plants toward pathogenic bacteria have been widely investigated for years and are still at the center of interest in plant biosciences research. This study investigated the role of the <i>AtbZIP62</i> gene encoding a transcription factor (TF) in the ba...

Furthermore, when <i>Pst DC3000 avrB</i> was inoculated, the expression of <i>AtPR1</i> was upregulated in the systemic leaves of Col-0, while that of <i>AtPR2</i> remained at a basal level in Col-0. Moreover, the expression of <i>AtAZI</i> (a systemic acquired resistance -related) gene was significantly upregulated at all time points (0–24 h post-inoculation, hpi) in <i>atbzip62</i> compared to Col-0 and <i>atgsnor1-3</i> and <i>atsid2</i>.
