Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Five SlMKK genes, including the new member SlMKK5, were identified in tomato
- Intervention effect SlMKK2 and SlMKK4 expression was strongly induced by Botrytis cinerea
- Intervention effect SlMKK2 and SlMKK4 expression was strongly induced by jasmonic acid and the ethylene precursor ACC
- Observation SlMKK2 and SlMKK4 are involved in tomato resistance against Botrytis cinerea
- Observation SlMKK1, SlMKK3 and SlMKK5 are not involved in tomato resistance against Botrytis cinerea
- Intervention effect Silencing SlMKK2 or SlMKK4 reduced tomato resistance to Botrytis cinerea
- Intervention effect Silencing SlMKK2 or SlMKK4 attenuated defense gene expression in tomato after B. cinerea infection
- Intervention effect Transient expression of constitutively active SlMKK2DD and SlMKK4DD enhanced resistance to Botrytis cinerea in Nicotiana benthamiana
- Intervention effect Transient expression of constitutively active SlMKK2DD and SlMKK4DD elevated defense gene expression in Nicotiana benthamiana
- Mechanism SlMKK2 and SlMKK4 function as positive regulators of the tomato defense response against Botrytis cinerea
