The Role of Salicylic Acid and Jasmonic Acid in Pathogen Defence

Vincentius A. Halim, A. Vess, Dierk Scheel, Sabine Rosahl

Abstract

Phytohormones are not only instrumental in regulating developmental processes in plants but also play important roles for the plant's responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. In particular, abscisic acid, ethylene, jasmonic acid, and salicylic acid have been shown to possess crucial functions in mediating or orchestrating stress responses in plants. Here, we review the role of salicylic acid and jasmonic acid in pathogen defence responses with special emphasis on their function in the solanaceous plant potato.
