Exogenous salicylic acid enhanced resistance of Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica) to Sclerospora graminicola
To ward off pathogens, plants establish innate immunity system in which salicylic acid (SA) plays an important role. The downy mildew of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is an oomycete disease caused by biotrophi...
