Unveiling Plant Airborne Defense Mechanism!
Exciting findings from the latest Nature article, “Molecular Basis of Methyl-Salicylate Mediated Plant Airborne Defence,” reveal a groundbreaking discovery!
The study uncovers that methyl-salicylate (MeSA), salicylic acid-binding protein-2 (SABP2), the transcription factor NAC2, and salicylic acid-carboxylmethyltransferase-1 (SAMT1) collaborate to form a vital signaling circuit. This circuit plays a pivotal role in mediating airborne defense (AD) against aphids and viruses.
These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanistic basis of AD and shed light on an intriguing aphid-virus co-evolutionary mutualism. Additionally, they highlight AD as a promising bioinspired strategy for controlling aphids and viruses.
