Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association edr2-6 showed an exaggerated chlorosis and necrosis response to attack by two powdery mildew species and one downy mildew species.
- Observation edr2-6 showed no exaggerated chlorosis and necrosis response to abiotic stresses or to the bacterial leaf speck pathogen.
- Mechanism Chlorosis and necrosis did not spread beyond inoculated sites, suggesting that EDR2 limits the initiation of cell death rather than its spread.
- Association Pathogen-induced chlorosis and necrosis of edr2-6 was correlated with stimulation of the salicylic acid defense pathway.
- Association Pathogen-induced chlorosis and necrosis of edr2-6 was suppressed in mutants deficient in salicylic acid signaling.
- Observation EDR2 encodes a novel protein with a pleckstrin homology domain, a StAR transfer (START) domain and a plant-specific domain of unknown function, DUF1336.
- Observation The EDR2 pleckstrin homology domain binds phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate in vitro.
- Observation The EDR2:HA:GFP protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane and endosomes.
