Salicylic Acid, a multifaceted hormone to combat disease. (2009, background): “Grafting analyses demonstrated that SABP2’s esterase activity is required only in the systemic tissues of TMV-infected tobacco plants for SAR development (153).”
Plant volatiles cause direct, induced and associational resistance in common bean to the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (2015, background): “Moreover, methyl salicylate represents the volatile form of salicylic acid, the central hormone in systemically induced plant resistance to biotrophs (Park et al. 2007).”
Induction of phenolics, lignin and key defense enzymes in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) roots in response to elicitors (2010, background): “The volatile derivative of SA and methyl salicylate (MeSA), is also involved in plant defense and recent grafting experiments, which suggested that MeSA is a critical, long-distance, phloem-mobile SAR signal in tobacco (Park et al., 2007).”
Priming of induced plant defense responses (2009, background): “These include methyl salicylate (MeSA), which is the methyl ester of SA (Park et al., 2007), lipid-derived signaling molecules (Maldonado et al.”
Hormone crosstalk in plant disease and defense: more than just jasmonate-salicylate antagonism. (2011, background): “Conversely, activation of SAR suppresses both ABA-responsive genes and biosynthetic genes in an NPR1-dependent manner.”
Impact of salicylic acid on post-harvest physiology of horticultural crops (2010, background): “Park et al., (2007) demonstrated that MeSA acts as a crucial long distance SAR signal in tobacco.”
Systemic acquired resistance: turning local infection into global defense. (2013, neutral): “An avirulent pathogen not only triggers defense responses locally but also induces the production of signals such as salicylic acid (SA), methyl salicylic acid (MeSA), azelaic acid (AzA), glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), and abietane diterpenoid dehydroabietinal (DA) (20, 22, 63, 84, 91, 103).”
How do plants achieve immunity? Defence without specialized immune cells (2012, background): “Taken together with the observation that MeSA accumulates in the phloem following the activation of SAR, these results suggest that MeSA might be the transported immune signa”
Variation in natural plant products and the attraction of bodyguards involved in indirect plant defense (2010, background): “In addition, MeSA acts as a long-distance signal within a plant, leading to systemic acquired resistance (SAR) (Shulaev et al. 1997; Ryu et al. 2004; Park et al. 2007; Heil and Ton 2008).”
The Physiological, Biochemical and Molecular Roles of Brassinosteroids and Salicylic Acid in Plant Processes and Salt Tolerance (2010, background): “Although initially SA was believed to be a mobile signal involved in SAR, later studies have shown that SA is not a mobile signal and molecules other than SA are playing this role (Park et al. , 2007).”
Abiotic and Biotic Stress Response Crosstalk in Plants (2011, background): “Recently, it has been shown that, methyl salicylate, which is induced upon pathogen infection, acts as an internal plant signal and also as an airborne defense signal (Forouhar et al., 2005; Park et al., 2007).”
Rhizobacteria-induced systemic resistance (2009, background): “(2003), Park et al. (2008b)”
