Resumen: The resistance of plants to necrotrophic fungi is genetically complex and depends on the interplay of different signalling pathways. To get further insights on the mechanisms controlling plant defence to this type of pathogens, we have explored the relevance of additional, uncharacterized molecular components of Arabidopsis thaliana. Thus, we have demonstrated that A. thaliana secondary cell wall is not just a structural defensive barrier, but is also an important component of specific signalling in defence responses. The broad spectrum resistance of irx1 and irx5 mutants, impaired in the Cell...
