Ascorbic Acid Deficiency in Arabidopsis Induces Constitutive Priming That is Dependent on Hydrogen Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, and the NPR1 Gene

The ascorbic acid (AA)-deficient Arabidopsis thaliana vtc1-1 mutant exhibits increased resistance to the virulent bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. This response correlates with heightened levels of salicylic acid (SA), which induces antimicrobial pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. To determ...
