Jasmonic acid and salicylic acid activate a common defense system in rice

Figures & data

Figure 1. Categories of BTH-upregulated genes after JA treatment in rice. Percentage of BTH-upregulated genes that are also upregulated by JA are shown with the qualifying induction change. “No-hit” indicates BTH-upregulated genes that were not correlated with a corresponding gene in our microarray data.⁶ BTH-upregulated genes refer Shimono et al.¹⁰

Figure 2. SA content after JA treatment in rice. Free SA content after100 µM JA treatment for 24 h in the fourth leaf blades of rice. Values are means ± SE (n = 3 for Mock, 4 for JA). An asterisk represents a statistically significant difference from the mock-treated control at p < 0.05 (Student’s t-test).

Figure 3. Schematic overview of the common defense system activated by JA and SA in rice. Parallel models of the activation scheme of a common defense system either when endogenous JA is low (JA signal off) or high (JA signal on). Solid lines indicate putative active signaling pathways. Dashed lines indicate putative inactive signaling pathways under the JA signaling condition of the model.
