Name | PHYTOALEXIN DEFICIENT 4 | Brief Description | alpha/beta-Hydrolases superfamily protein |
TAIR Computational Description | alpha/beta-Hydrolases superfamily protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a lipase-like gene that is important for salicylic acid signaling and function in resistance (R) gene-mediated and basal plant disease resistance. PAD4 can interact directly with EDS1, another disease resistance signaling protein. Expressed at elevated level in response to green peach aphid (GPA) feeding, and modulates the GPA feeding-induced leaf senescence through a mechanism that doesn't require camalexin synthesis and salicylic acid (SA) signaling. Required for the ssi2-dependent heightened resistance to GPA. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
