Abstract
Significant progress has been made in the characterization of disease resistance genes and receptors for pathogen avirulence signals and non -specific elicitors. Some components involved in elicitor-induced sign al transduction have been identified. Phosphorylation of transcription factors has been found to be one of the mechanisms regulating their c ellular localization, DNA binding and transcription activities for def ense gene activation.
