Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Incompatible wheat pathogen interactions showed strongest resistance responses at 24 hpi.
- Mechanism Amino acid metabolic pathways appeared directly involved in stripe rust resistance.
- Observation Five named metabolites were enriched in the melatonin biosynthesis pathway.
- Association Melatonin accumulated highly in incompatible but not compatible interactions.
- Observation TaASMT3 was the most upregulated melatonin biosynthesis related gene in incompatible interactions.
- Observation TaASMT3 encodes an acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase.
- Intervention effect TaASMT3 knockdown reduced resistance to stripe rust.
- Mechanism Melatonin accumulation during infection was proposed to activate wheat defense.
