Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, it was clarified that heat shock treatment induced disease resistance against pathogens. This mode of action was named as “Heat shock-induced resistance” (HSIR). HSIR involved some independent signaling pathway regulated by accumulation of salicylic acid, heat shock proteins and heat shock transcriptional factors, and so on. It was suggested that this resistance includes additive effect of multifaceted antifungal reaction.
