Imbalanced lignin biosynthesis promotes the sexual reproduction of homothallic oomycete pathogens

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Michaël Quentin et al. from the Unité de Phytopathologie et Méthodologies de la Détection, INRA, Versailles, France, Institut Bio III Pflanzenphysiologie, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany have published the Article: Imbalanced Lignin Biosynthesis Promotes the Sexual Reproduction of Homothallic Oomycete Pathogens, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of January/16,/2009
  • what: The authors show here that Arabidopsis thaliana mutants with impaired 5-hydroxyguaiacyl O-methyltransferase (known as caffeate O-methyltransferase; COMT) function were more susceptible to various bacterial and fungal pathogens. Taken together the study shows that an artificial downregulation of COMT . . .
