Nuclear NPR1 Modulates Salicylic Acid/Jasmonic Acid Crosstalk via Transcriptional Control of WRKY Transcription Factors

The plant hormones salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) are major regulators of plant defense. They can antagonize each other's activity, enabling an optimized defense response. The SA master regulator NPR1 is a key player in this SA/JA crosstalk, although the mechanisms of NPR1-mediated SA/JA crosstalk remain only partly understood, especially regarding the ethylene-coregulated ERF branch…
