Abstract
Induction of resistance to plant virus replication or movement by salicylic acid is mediated by a novel signal transduction pathway (Plant Cell 9: 547, 1997; Molec. Plant-Microbe Interact. 11:860, 1998; Plant Cell 10:1489, 1998). Pharmacological data suggests that the plant mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) plays a role in the induction of resistance to viruses. We will: 1. Determine definitively whether or not AOX is involved in resistance to viruses, and 2. Isolate host genes induced by the novel signalling pathway, with the objective of identifying plant genes that encode factors that either inhibit or support the replication and/or movement of plant viruses.
