title: Transcriptional activation of plant defense genes.
abstract: Significant progress has been made in the characterization of disease resistance genes and receptors for pathogen avirulence signals and non-specific elicitors. Some components involved in elicitor-induced signal transduction have been identified. Phosphorylation of transcription factors has been found to be one of the mechanisms regulating their cellular localization, DNA binding and transcription activities for defense gene activation.
