Implication

Experimental study demonstrates enhanced defense gene expression and viral resistance in plants treated with BTH derivatives, suggesting dual activation of salicylic and jasmonic acid pathways.

Key Points

To evaluate the efficacy, phytotoxicity, and mode of action of BTH and its chemical derivatives in inducing systemic acquired resistance against viral disease in plants.
Treated healthy and virus-infected plants with BTH and selected synthetic derivatives across various concentrations to screen for phytotoxic effects and disease protection.
Quantified the expression of key defense marker genes associated with salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and ethylene pathways, including PAL, PR proteins, and NPR1.
Identified optimal concentrations of the most effective BTH derivatives that mitigate viral infection without inducing phytotoxic damage.
Demonstrated that application of BTH and its derivatives upregulates defense marker genes associated with both salicylic acid- and jasmonic acid-mediated signaling pathways.
