Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Infected roots show reduced primary root elongation.
- Association Infected roots show increased lateral root development at later stages of infection.
- Observation Infection is accompanied by upregulation of several auxin-regulating transcriptional programs.
- Observation Infection is accompanied by accumulation of indole-3-acetic acid.
- Association Auxin signaling is enhanced in specific plant tissues of infected plants.
- Association Susceptible genotypes activate their auxin pathway more than resistant genotypes.
- Intervention effect Reducing auxin transport or perception increases plant resistance.
- Intervention effect Reducing auxin transport or perception decreases the severity of key root-associated phenotypes during infection.
- Mechanism R. solanacearum effectors indirectly influence auxin homeostasis of the host plant.
- Mechanism Effectors alter the plant immune response, metabolism and plant hormone pathways.
- Mechanism Auxin mediates the trade-off between plant growth and defense.
- Recommendation Precision resistance strategies may enhance plant resistance.
