Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect A G3P dehydrogenase mutation restored salicylic acid and jasmonic acid mediated phenotypes in ssi2 plants.
- Observation The G3P dehydrogenase gene was identified by cloning rdc8 and confirmed by epistatic analysis.
- Association Restoration of ssi2 phenotypes by gly1-3 was age dependent and correlated with 18:1 levels.
- Intervention effect Glycerol application reduced 18:1 levels in ssi2 and ssi2 gly1-3 plants.
- Intervention effect Glycerol application rendered ssi2 and ssi2 gly1-3 plants hypersensitive to glycerol.
- Intervention effect The act1 mutation rescued glycerol hypersensitivity in ssi2 plants.
- Intervention effect ACT1 overexpression enhanced sensitivity to glycerol.
- Intervention effect Glycerol application lowered 18:1 content in SSI2 plants.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that plastid 18:1 levels are regulated by acylation with G3P.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that the G3P to 18:1 balance is critical for salicylic acid and jasmonic acid signaling.
