the stimulation of ethylene synthesis in nicotiana tabacum leaves by the phytotoxin coronatine.	coronatine is a chlorosis-inducing toxin produced by the plant pathogen pseudomonas syringae pv atropurpurea. this bacterium is the causal agent of chocolate spot disease, in which brown lesions with chlorotic margins develop on the leaves of lolium multiflorum lam. among the many physiological changes to plants caused by coronatine is the stimulation of ethylene production from bean leaves. the ethyl-substituted side chain of coronatine is an analog of the ethylene precursor, 1-aminocyclopropan ...	1992	16652950
apoptotic cell death is a common response to pathogen attack in oats.	we have examined the characteristics of cell death induced by pathogen infection in oats with respect to following hallmark apoptotic features: dna laddering, chromatin condensation, and electron microscopic-terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated utp end labeling positive response. a wide range of plant pathogens representing different levels of parasitism in susceptible and resistant interactions were used for the inocula, which include (i) an obligate parasite, puccinia coronata f. sp. ...	2002	12437297
